In theory the advantage will depend on how much gold there is sized between 3 micron and 70 microron, with 3 being the size of bacteria and 70 the smallest grain of sand. But as you say the efficiency of feeding the concentrator is not just a number on a sales brochure. While 200 kilos an hour...

Thanks Bazz for raising this. I would actually like to partner up and split on even stakes. Ideally the partner could provide 4 wheel drive access to difficult sites, such as the small non-exempted creeks around Mitta Mitta. My side would to be to provide full use of the centrifugal concentrator...

The creeks at Mitta Mitta would also be ideal as very rich in alluvial materials but the main ones are on the exempt list and the minor ones (which can be prospected) are quite difficult to access.

That sounds like a decent option actually, thanks. Its strengths are flour gold in black sand but material needs some classification first. Can process up to 200 kilos an hour.

Weights 9 kilos, bit larger than a 20 litre bucket and runs on 240v, so needs a generator on the road.

Melbourne. You are quite right, sorry mate.

I have an industrial portable centrifugal concentrator - similar to a Knelson but can run on dirty water - which gets fine gold down to 3 micron in size (panning usually only gets down to about 70 micron). Very effective with black sand. Happy to team up in exchange for good locations to run it.

Hi All, I have purchased a portable centrifugal concentrator - similar to a knelson - and I could do with some help locating and processing suitable alluvial dirt and tailings. Collects micron sized gold that other techniques often miss and works with black sand. Please let me know if you are...
