Eco Friendly Gold and Precious Metal Mining In Central and South America

Positive means of recovering microscopic gold using mechanical means! Standing waves, skin effect, inertia, and most importantly specific gravity, are all used in the recovery of gold, platinum, silver, copper, and many other precious metals.

Specific gravity vibration table systems are a direct replacement for leaching and mercury based mining equipment. Other mining methods such as centrifugal concentrators, flotation cells, and amalgamation can be replaced with environmentally safer to use gold mining solutions such as a specific gravity inertia based systems.

In today’s environmentally conscious world, extreme attention is being paid to operations using chemical means, including mercury, or other hazardous chemicals such as cyanide that are currently being used in the recovery of precious metals. Companies worldwide are being pressured to clean their operations, provide a safe working environment, and most importantly stop polluting the soil and water surrounding the mine. Mining companies need to be just as concerned about contamination as is the general public. Most of all governmental organizations need to recognize the hazards, adopt new technologies as a standard.

The mining industry can now eliminate worries regarding hazardous products or waste material. Specific gravity systems use only water, mechanical vibration, and possibly some biodegradable surfactant to prevent float gold from escaping. Again, everything is environmentally safe, thus avoiding "chemical permits", issues with government agencies, hazardous waste disposal costs, and most importantly, the extreme environmental issues connected with chemical extraction of gold, or other metals.

The typical specific gravity based mining systems are fed in the following methods; Once the material is removed from the mining area the material is run through a classifier that divides the various sized material into several batches. Large material goes to the hammer/ball mills to get pulverized then gets combines with the fine particle / dirt and transferred via auger systems for direct machine loading. Fine material that may have a large percentage of clay get transferred to a slurry tank for water dilution designed to break down the clay and precious metal mix. This slurry mix from that point is pumped to the hoppers located on the top of the gold mining equipment. This simplified material handling process reduces the overall costs of extraction verses conventional methods and also allows for an automated control to the whole mining process. Less manpower is need for the management of the systems, thus allowing for a 24 hours a day continuous operation at a lower cost. Nontoxic byproduct solutions are the future of precious metal mining.

Consumption and demand of precious metals is ever increasing in the world today.The general public is blind to the necessity of mining. Without the results of precious metal mining you would be unable to read this information because the internet wouldn’t exist. People would be on horseback instead of automobiles, and would live in a much darker and uninformed world. Even the most aggressive environmentalists wouldn’t live without their cell phones!

A wealth of natural resources ranging from gold to copper is located in Central and South America. If fact, Panamas’ number one export is gold and copper. The mountainous regions of Colombia are laden with precious metals including gold and silver mined by toxic chemical means. Costa Rica is sitting on two of the largest untapped gold reserves in the world with no green based solution in-place to protect the environment.

With an economic need for precious metals in every country, the integration of safe, environmentally friendly, and most of all nontoxic mining methods are the future.} {Most of all, this gold mining method costs less than half to purchase, setup, and operate versus the current methods utilized with 95% to 98% efficiency in the extraction process. Save money and save the earth in the process is a win-win solution to our ever growing need of precious metal mining.
