S:i:6.c-e.,J-une 1991, my partner and 1 have been using your 2' X 4- U &nd 4' X 5' high frequency concentrating tables for fine goldrec!overy.. We nave tested about twenty different milled-hro-ard -ck ore m sap:les.and cen placer samples. The hardrock ore samples varied from high 'su'l:fide to high hematite -magnetite to straight free mill gold in q ux t'W az It e had no problem with a very unusual ore from New Mexico 4 w h L -6h; w a s a graphitic schist with extremely fine pyrite and free gold. By any measure, all the tests were successful. The placer samples varied from sharply angular clayey coluvial gravel from Nevada to clean rounded quartz gravel from Colorado and California. We have operated a wide variety of concentrating bowls, cones, jigs, cables and sluices. Cl.early there is no ocher gold recovery system:.available that handles: -such a -wid-e va:riecy of mateti-als nearly., as w.e.l I as your t_abl-e.s.. lq;o o-rher Syszem.can be as quickly set up and tuned to a particular material We have developed a reasonably reliable rule of thumb to ..predict the result ,test.

Some po,rr-io..n of. ch.e finer gold . at each size range above will be recovered '-buc significantly less than IU07.. Compared to other types.of; equipment, your tables need much less power and water to operate. In In-shorc, your system should -be- a pleasure for any experienced table operator.
