Time Frame for Latest Photos of Alluvial Gold Production

Hi Stan, I am wondering what the time frame was to get the 300 grams. I was just wanting to compare it to your estimates in the summary of 125 gr. of gold a day using 1 excavator. If it is just one day, using 2 excavators, then your conservative estimates are right on!

Stan's response: This was a first, major bulk test right at the exact mine site. The material was taken from the surface. There was time spent in set-up, ground preparation, and efforts on establishing a nice work flow for the first time.

There was a total of about 3 days spent on the entire process, right through to the gold sale. The second excavator was not used full-time in feeding the plant. It was mostly busy with other tasks around the site.

Just over 300 cubic meters were processed. This is a volume of production that you could likely expect in 2 or 3 days with one excavator and one wash plant once you are up and rolling smoothly. A superhuman, expert effort might be able to do it in one day theoretically, especially with 2 excavators.

If you could produce 100 grams of gold per day, you would be hitting a financial home run. You would have your initial investment paid off at lightening speed.

Most miners who could produce 100 grams per day would likely purchase a second mini-concession very soon. I suspect that is how this project will be sold out rather quickly.
