This incredible gold separation/recovery device comes in 3 models covering all scales of operation and works on gold, any heavy mineral, also cleans grit from stripped carbon.

The portable 12 volt powered model M5 has just been released and is great for test work in the bush or lab.

The M8 is perfect for bulk sample testing and for full scale production.

The mighty M10 can process up to 10 TPH and has low water and power usage.

Action Mining, who manufacture the Gold Wave Table, also supplies a complete range of assay equipment, prospecting gear and technical books.

Products:

The Daily Reckoning newsletter says….

“–The banks want a deal that keeps them in business. They want the Paulson deal. But the U.S. taxpayers don’t want the Paulson deal. They’ve said so all week. So where does that leave us?

–It leaves us exactly where we’ve always had to be: the continued de-leveraging of the global financial system. That means more asset-write downs, more bank failures, and sooner or later, a run on a few banks as depositors begin to realise that the frozen credit markets are going to lead to the death of some over-leveraged banks unable to fund their operations or roll over their debts.

–We may get Paulson Two, of course. Congress will cook up some other version of the plan that addresses things like equity warrants or taxpayer protection. But none of that solves the problem at the heart of the financial system: a tremendous amount of borrowed money has been invested in assets that are falling in value. The inevitable result is a credit deflation. There is no way of improving the quality of the assets.

–The Fed is not waiting to see what Congress does to respond. It’s about to grow its balance sheet in a monstrous way. It will take on new liabilities and create new money to do so if it must. That’s why the only exception to yesterday’s commodity sell-off was gold. We’ll have more on this latest phase of the crisis in a special mid-week edition. Until then…”

The flyer explains how the Action Mining GOLD WAVE TABLE works:

Separating by specific gravity, the sand forms in riffles directly under the standing wave of water. Even light blond sand forms riffles, not washing away.

Due to the Standing Wave principle, the heaviest particles remain through the low motion area of the Standing Wave. The wave itself moves; the water directly beneath the wave tends to stand still. The further from the top of the wave, the less motion is in the water.

Thus, the heavier the particle the deeper it will ride and the less motion it will see. The “Riffle Pump” attached to the top bar of the Riffle Bar assists in dropping ‘float gold’ to the table surface, enabling a faster production run without fear of losing gold or other metals that normally would be lost on most tables.

In view of the fact that the table top moves back and forth, the micron particles of heavy material (gold, PGMs, scheelite, copper, zinc oxide, etc.) sink to the bottom under the wave. The finer particles (-600 mesh and smaller) drop into a Skin Effect area. That area is directly against the skin of the table top.

The water in this area does not move with the flowing water but rather sits almost still. The motion of the table causes this “Skin Effect” water to move in the opposite direction of the flow. Thus the fine gold or mineral moves ‘up’ the table and falls into the concentrate trough.

The gold and/or concentrates can then be washed automatically into a concentrate bucket or a security safe, or vacuumed off the table. Ore should be classified according to size for efficient results.

* Gravity separation

* Separates material to 5 microns

* Recover metal values lost by other methods

* Simple operation - Adjustable water flow, adjustable bump, adjustable tilt

* The Micron Mill Wave Table can be fed from an overhead tank, slurry fed by conveyor belts, or by pipe, depending on your setup requirements.

By the way, this is the webmaster writing. I’m good at web things (only), while Ian is the expert when it comes to gold recovery. But I just watched the free DVD about the gold wave table so I can tell you a little of what I have learned.

The DVD was made by Mike and Nancy Glenn of Action Mining Services in the USA. Their company makes these remarkable machines. More on that later…

Mineral Recovery Methods

1. Leaching. This uses chemicals, and more technical know-how is required than you need to use a gold wave table. Chemical leaching is also the most expensive mineral recovery method. Mike’s main focus is on gold recovery but the machines work for any mineral which is heavier than _______

2. Amalgamation. The idea here is that you first amalgamate the gold with mercury and then you separate it. But Mike explained that this is not easy. “Your mercury has to be clean and your gold has to be clean. Then they have to come into contact.” Like #1, this process is also technically intensive then it requires another operation to get the gold out of the mercury. And mercury fumes are poisonous.

3. Flotation is also technically intensive.

4. As he worked his way down the list, next came mechanical separation which is what the Micron Mill Wave Table does. It’s a wet gravity separator that separates any heavy mineral according to its SG (specific gravity). This doesn’t use chemicals. Just water and the oscillating wave table. It’s quite neat to see it at work on the DVD.

5. Finally sluices, the traditional method of gold recovery, are the easiest. The problem with using a gold sluice is that it misses the fine gold… the microscopic gold. The Wave Table machine is able to recover this micron-fine material.

The DVD presentation showed a bucket of dirt being poured into the system at one end, and out comes a concentrate containing the gold particles.

Follow the link and you will see Ian’s ad in the Australian Gold Gem & Treasure magazine. Naturally enough, it’s about the Micron Mill Wave Table.

“Ideal for cleaning up sluice box concentrates and separating gold from black sands”

“Never use mercury or cyanide again”

“Low water usage”

“High recovery of very fine gold”

“Also works great on all heavy minerals and gemstones, platinum, tin, wolfram, tantalite, zircon, topaz and diamonds”

Plus there is Ian’s FREE OFFER.

“The Gravity Gold Rush”

Well, Ian sent me the front cover of magazine. Here ya go… Australian Gold Gem & Treasure Magazine.

(Link now corrected, sorry guys)

Here are some quotable quotes from the two page article:

“We have all heard of mercury and cyanide being used in the recovery of gold. Now there is a dramatic shift in the gold sector towards a new age of gravity recovery devices and techniques.

..The Micron Mill Wave Table… is revolutionizing the recovery of gold in particular, in prospecting and small gold mines right up to the largest of gold mines.

..People are using the Wave Table for both alluvial as well as hard-rock gold operations…

The beauty of the device is that minerals will be recovered in their order of specific gravity. In other words, gold will form a line across the width of the deck on the highest part of the Wave Table while iron pyrites (foolsgold) will line up below the gold.”

Click here to read the whole Gravity Gold Rush article (read page 2) and see the photos.

That’s the title of an article the Kalgoorlie Miner recently ran (30 May 2008, page 5) about Ian’s visit to Kalgoorlie. He was a visiting guest speaker/demonstrator at a workshop for gold prospectors and miners.

The article says, in part:

Mr Freeland will bring with him a “wave table” to demonstrate the table’s ability to recover ultra fine mineral particles.

“For example, with gold, the problem has always been dealing with the sub 50 micron sized fraction,” Mr Freeland said.

Now these valuable ultra fine mineral particles can be recovered at a high recovery rate on the wave table.

The compact concentrator table also has a low water usage and even operates with dirty water.”

This photo shows Ian demonstrating the model M8 Wave Table to a group of interested prospectors at the field day.

And in this shot (also full screen so it opens in another window) a sample is being processed by the M8 Wave Table for a group of interested prospectors.

This field day/demonstration at Kalgoorlie was held on 1st June 2008.
