Mining Equipment for Gold Concentration

In gold mining, high technology gold mining equipment, such as gold detectors, elegant modern dredges, and lightweight sluices will be needed. In gold mining industry, SBM is a professional gold mining machine manufacturer of gold ore crusher or gold mining crusher and gold mill machines.

Gold’s average concentration in the Earth’s crust is 0.005 parts per million. The technology of extraction is expensive primarily because the process always requires gold mining companies to manipulate large physical quantities of ore for small results. The energy required heaving, grind and process ore is itself valuable, as are the chemicals used in the process, and this places a lower limit on the quality of ore which can be profitably worked in the gold mining process.

The process of gold concentration happens both above and below the surface of the Earth. On the surface there is alluvial gold which has been concentrated by the effects of running water, usually rivers. Because of its extreme density metallic gold will readily fall out of suspension as water slows down. So where a river cuts through gold bearing rock, and then slows down as it hits a flatter/wider river bed, gold will concentrate in a ‘placer’ deposit, allowing extraction of gold particles by panning and the modern day industrial gold mining equivalents.

At different points concentration of minerals within the earth’s crust varies from their average, and it is those variations which produce workable ores for gold mining. Iron, for example, accounts for an average 5.8% of the content of the Earth’s crust. It needs to be concentrated by natural variations to about 30% to be considered an ore, indicating a required geological concentration of about 5 times. A lower grade gold ore would contain something like 5 grams per tonne (5 parts per million). So gold ore needs to be concentrated by about 1,000 times above its average dispersion in order to become viable for gold mining.dryer machine:http://www.hx-crusher.com/dryer_machine.html

Underground gold veins or ‘lodes’ are produced in association with various metallic deposits, often including sulphides and pyrites. Gold concentration may occur as other minerals are leached away over a long period. Ore of sufficient yield to support gold mining is very rare.

Gold crusher used as the primary crusher for crushing gold ore in gold ore crushing industry. Jaw crusher is the most used gold mining machine for crushing ore. Jaw crusher can reach the crushing ratio of 4-6 and the shape of final product is even. So South Africa gold jaw crusher is widely applied to crush high hardness, mid hardness and soft rocks and ores such as slag, construction materials, marble, etc.

Gold mobile crusher is the newly type of gold mining equipment for gold crushing. Gold ore mobile crusher can eliminate the obstacles of the crushing places and circumstances, and offer the high efficient and low cost project plants for the client. To the client, gold mobile crusher is the best choice as a gold mining machine.

The gold is out there if you are willing to make the effort, and with modern gold mining equipment even greenhorns stand a chance of striking it rich.
