Gold Prospecting Services
We can conduct gold prospecting services on mining sites throughout the world. We will gladly search for gold in harder-to-reach areas, drill for alluvial gold in forests or jungles, or dive deep into rivers and lakes to find gold nuggets concentrated at their bedrocks.
Gold panning, dredging, dry washing, sluicing, and assaying are well-known methods. We will gladly provide services related to these techniques of gold prospecting.
We can use metal detectors to detect the presence of gold nuggets of a certain size on large surface areas.
Gold Panning: This is one of the most important gold prospecting methods that every prospector and miner should know.
Drilling remains our major prospecting service, which may help discover alluvial, eluvial, or lode gold. Currently, we provide drilling services for soft soil down to 60 meters deep.
Geophysical Survey
In the context of gold mining, geophysical survey involves using various techniques such as magnetometry to detect magnetic anomalies caused by iron-bearing minerals often found with gold deposits; electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to map variations in subsurface conductivity that can indicate ore bodies or voids; and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for imaging beneath the surface without disturbing it, helping identify structures like faults and bedrock depth.
Gold Mineral Exploration
Gold mineral exploration is more extensive than gold prospecting. It involves serious steps required to determine the existence of gold ores on a specific area of land.
This may include:
- Borehole drilling
- Diamond core drilling
- Trenching and larger excavations
The goal of gold mineral exploration is to assess the feasibility and methods for future mining operations.
We engage in gold exploration business when our goals, purposes, plans, and policies align with those of our clients.
Gold Bearing Ore Discovery
The purpose of gold exploration is to discover mineral deposits containing sufficient quantities of gold so that afuture mining operation may become profitable.
When we refer to discovering gold, it’s not just about finding individual particles or small nuggets. Instead, the goal is to identify and locate gold bearing ore—also known as auriferous ore—which can be mined for economic gain in the future.
The purpose of a Gold Bearing Ore Discovery Project is to find sufficient deposits (ore bodies) that allow us to estimate potential gold mining production volumes accurately.
Borehole Drilling Services
We offer a comprehensive range of borehole drilling solutions, including:
Mobile CoreDrilling and Hard Rock Assaying: Ideal for hard-to-access locations.
Alluvial Drilling in Soft Soils: Capable of reaching depths from 10 to 15 meters.
Reverse Circulation Drilling (RCD): Effective for various soil types and conditions.
Percussion Rotary Air Blast Drilling: Suitable for a wide range of geological formations.
Diamond Core Drilling Services: Precision drilling with high accuracy.

Connect with Our Mentor: The Key to Unlocking Your Golden Opportunity
We’re thrilled that you’re interested in launching your very own successful gold mine and investing wisely in this precious metal.
Meet Jean Louis, a seasoned consultant dedicated solely to the program Start Your Own Gold Mine.
My goal is to offer our clients a sustainable small-scale gold mining business by advising them, offering guidance, consulting, and utilizing the resources we have already established.
On the other hand, from their side, they will not only receive some kilograms of gold but also new equipment and goodwill.
Since 2002, I have started over several hundred international businesses across different countries worldwide and assisted entrepreneurs in launching various types of ventures.
In Eastern European former socialist countries where there was no prior experience with the trade of gold, as a pioneer, my business incentives sparked what many referred to as an actual “gold rush.” Many shops and enterprises opened up due to these initiatives.
You are offered your very own productive small-scale gold mining business under personal supervision until you produce five kilograms (net) of gold.
By saying “five kilograms,” I mean net after expenses and taxes, so it should be clear that the total amount produced will exceed this figure by a significant margin.
Once you can consistently generate 5 kg of pure gold, your business is free to continue for as long as desired.
And in exchange for my support throughout this journey, we agree on sharing the extracted gold at a ratio of three kilograms (3:2) between us and yourself. Even if an initial consulting fee amounts to just US $22,000, it will include these additional two kilograms of gold.
This is why such low-cost investment can be offered for this program’s startup costs.
Once the program concludes, you’ll have gained all necessary skills, training, and full understanding on how to manage your own small-scale mining business.
Additionally, at that point in time, you will receive mineral rights worth a minimum of US $200,000 over one licensed mine site.
Our headquarters is located in Tacoma, Washington and our bank account with Wells Fargo will be where the US $22,000 fee needs to go upon signing up for this contract.

Don’t make mistakes in understanding of this explanation. My English may not be the best, and we may make errors in writing. You should make your questions and clarify any misunderstandings.
Our clients and myself, we have got all problems due to mistakes in understanding, and also in errors in my writing on this website.
I am putting effort that there are no misunderstandings, yet there may be such.
A start does not mean that there is immediate income. Once you start your own gold mine, you will have the gold mine, equipment, mineral rights and people working. It required mining and hard work, to obtain the results. There is no specified time to produce the first 5 kilograms of gold. The program is to take as long as it takes.
Once we have started our own first production, back in 2012, we have produced gold in Tanzania, yet we have not made any income at that time.
Income is the difference between the full expenses including taxes and the sales of gold obtained through gold mining.
Gold production alone does not constitute income.
It requires the knowledge of administration and taxes to understand what is an income.
When you Start Your Own Gold Mine, you need to work and put efforts to obtain the first kilograms of gold. We have done our best on our side, that it becomes possible, provided you are following the guidance and consulting advises.
For income to come into existence, effort is required. We are providing the guidance and consulting that you put focus on proper efforts, so that you may gain true results in the program to Start Your Own Gold Mine.
Our associated company GOLDIVANTI LP have started and registered the company in Tanzania in 2012 with intention to trade gold. Instead of commencing trade of gold, we were forced to realize that cheap gold is not available in the country. As our Exit Strategy we have started gold mining in Tanzania.
We have signed up the contract with our local partner for the usage of the Primary Mining License. And we have got initially 11 licenses. During the next days and weeks, we have partnered with other small scale miners in Geita, Tanzania. And started producing first gold.
I personally believe that the best investment in gold is having our own gold production. Personally, I would be very happy if I could have someone to lead me and direct the work just as I am offering it to you.
We had to invest a lot to get to the first grams of gold. And we did it.
Our investment has gained a lot of resources, and with those resources, we may offer this consulting program to our clients.
From 2012 to 2020: Paving the Way for Business Success

Skilled Prospector Course
The Skilled Prospector certification is awarded by our company to individuals who successfully complete the curriculum outlined in Start Your Own Gold Mine business startup program.
The course covers a range of topics:
Gold Characteristics: This module explores gold’s specific gravity, malleability, ductility, nugget shapes and sizes, as well as its color variations.
Precious Metals: Participants learn about precious metals such as gold, platinum, rhodium, silver, palladium, and iridium.
Legality: This section covers the basics of licensing requirements across different countries and types of licenses needed for prospecting activities. It also includes company registration details like general land rental agreements, employment contracts (Mining Acts and Employment Acts), environmental regulations pertinent to mining operations, as well as specific rules concerning prospecting in relation to these laws.
Environment: Participants study the impact of various mining practices on the environment including pollution from mercury usage; effects of lode and alluvial mining methods; impacts associated with tailings processing; along with Environmental Impact Assessment processes and self-monitoring requirements for sustainable operations.
Gold Geology: This segment delves into the geological aspects of gold formation, distribution, and exploration techniques. It includes understanding different types of rock formations where gold is typically found (like hard-rock or vein deposits versus placer deposits), the process of mineralization, structural geology influencing ore body development, and various prospecting methods such as geological mapping, sampling strategies for detection, and use of modern exploration technologies including satellite imagery and ground penetrating radar. It also covers interpretations of geologic maps to identify potential gold-bearing areas.
Stream Reading & Deposit Understanding: This module equips students with the skills necessary for identifying, interpreting, and extracting valuable minerals from riverbeds or streams – an essential skill in placer mining operations. It includes recognizing signs of gold accumulation like color concentrations (like “color” indicating significant amounts of heavy metals), understanding different types of stream deposits such as bedrock outcrops versus alluvial fans, and learning various prospecting tools used for efficient sampling in these environments, including panning techniques, sluice boxes setups, drywashing methods. This section also covers the principles behind gold’s behavior under flow conditions – how it becomes concentrated within a stream system - to help students make accurate assessments of potential gold-bearing areas from visual inspections alone.
Planning for Prospecting involves a prospector acquiring knowledge on legalities related to mining activities. This phase includes conducting site visits, confirming gold deposits' existence through verification processes, understanding social dynamics at mine sites and available resources within these areas. It also entails learning how to interpret maps effectively for navigation purposes during the prospecting journey. Furthermore, this stage requires making informed decisions regarding equipment purchases - determining which machinery or tools are most suitable based on specific mining conditions. Additionally, it involves deciding upon necessary supplies and planning their procurement accordingly. Lastly, a crucial part of Planning for Prospecting is the preparation phase that includes setting up and organizing all required equipment before commencing actual prospecting activities.
Gold Panning stands as a fundamental technique in gold prospecting, offering an accessible entry point for beginners while remaining relevant even to seasoned professionals due to its simplicity and effectiveness under various conditions. This method involves sifting through gravel or dirt using a pan-like tool known as the ‘rocker’ or simply a ‘gold pan’. It relies on gravity: heavier gold particles are trapped within the crevices of the panning surface, while lighter materials wash away with water. Gold panners must possess keen observation skills to distinguish between real flakes and debris that mimics their appearance (like pyrite often referred to as “fool’s gold”). Mastery in this technique not only yields immediate results but also provides valuable insights into the local geology, helping prospectors make more informed decisions about larger-scale mining operations.
Sluices - This section delves into the advanced aspects of gold extraction methods, focusing on Sluices and their associated equipment. It covers topics ranging from construction techniques for screens and spray bars to operational procedures. The operation of sluice systems is explored in depth, including how concentrates are removed post-processing. Additionally, it discusses the use of mobile sluices that offer flexibility in various mining landscapes. Furthermore, detailed instructions on setting up High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and couplings are provided for robust infrastructure construction. The section also extends to larger classifiers and arrays of sluices, offering a comprehensive guide towards more complex yet efficient gold extraction setups.
Special Methods of Gold Recovery - This section rounds off our exploration by unveiling a selection of extraordinary techniques that elevate the art and science of gold extraction to new heights, offering unique solutions tailored for specific geological conditions or mineral compositions encountered in diverse mining scenarios. These special methods often involve cutting-edge technologies and strategies designed to optimize yield while minimizing environmental impact.
The secion on Placer Prospecting delves into a historical yet still relevant method of gold recovery that involves searching for deposits in alluvial areas or stream beds where heavy minerals like gold have been eroded and transported by water. This technique often incorporates simple tools such as pans, sluice boxes, dry washers, and more complex equipment including dredges and large-scale mining machinery depending on the scale of operations. Despite its simplicity in concept, placer prospecting requires a keen understanding of geological processes to locate promising sites effectively. It represents an essential part of gold recovery strategies worldwide due to its accessibility for both small-scale miners and large corporations alike, while also offering opportunities for environmentally responsible mining practices through careful site selection and restoration post extraction.
In contrast, the section on Motherlode Prospecting focuses on a different approach to gold discovery, targeting primary deposits formed within rocks rather than alluvial environments. This method involves exploring and extracting gold from deep within mountain formations or veins using techniques such as underground mining or open-pit extraction methods depending on the deposit’s accessibility and structure. Unlike placer prospecting which is more accessible to small-scale miners with basic equipment, motherlode prospecting generally requires substantial investment in advanced technology and infrastructure due to its complexity and depth of operations. Despite this, it remains crucial for significant gold production as most of the world’s known gold reserves are found within these hard rock deposits. It presents both environmental challenges - owing to large-scale excavation and potential disruption of ecosystems – and opportunities for technological innovation aimed at minimizing impact while maximizing efficiency, showcasing its pivotal role in the global gold mining industry.
Furthermore, Sampling and assaying ores is an integral part of this process; it involves extracting small portions from a larger deposit (sampling) to test their chemical composition or quality via various methods known as assays. This helps miners understand if a site contains commercially viable amounts of gold before proceeding with full-scale mining operations, making it another critical aspect in the motherlode prospecting strategy.
In Matrix Gold Prospecting, a systematic search for gold can be meticulously conducted before, during or following geophysical surveys. This comprehensive approach commences with both alluvial (surface) and lode prospecting methods to identify potential gold deposits in various geological settings. Subsequently, it could involve the Tailings Sampling Project – a strategic initiative where existing mining waste is examined for residual gold content, thereby maximizing recovery opportunities. Post identification of promising sites through these initial phases, diamond core drilling emerges as the next critical step in validating and quantifying potential gold reserves beneath the surface. This sequence ensures a thorough exploration process that effectively integrates both non-invasive geophysical techniques with direct geological sampling methods for accurate mineral appraisal.
In this phase of their training journey with us as prospectors or apprentices, our learners delve into the comprehensive realm of equipment fabrication and application. This encompasses mastering the intricacies of constructing feeders and spray bars to understanding advanced techniques for manufacturing grizzly bars suitable for gold recovery operations. It also includes acquiring expertise on diverse mattings essential for efficient extraction, honing skills related to sluice assembly, managing rock impact mills efficiently during operation, maintaining water pumps effectively and reliably installing solar panels as well as generators - all critical components in the successful function of our gold mining operations. This holistic approach ensures that each individual not only understands but also confidently applies their knowledge to real-world scenarios within this dynamic industry.
The Full Production Process encompasses a comprehensive learning journey for prospectors. This includes mastering interpersonal skills necessary for effectively managing personnel on mining sites; supervisory techniques vital for overseeing mine operations; organizational strategies required to coordinate teams efficiently at the site level; proficiency in operating gold-mining equipment, including medium field prospecting sluices and other relevant machinery. Additionally, it involves learning how to collect gold concentrates from these processes, classify them into particle size groups for refinement purposes using final panning techniques. The process also extends to understanding the critical steps of assaying (testing) gold quality, evaluating its worth based on analytical results and finally executing a streamlined methodology for selling this precious commodity with ease in marketplaces.
Our comprehensive Full Production Process can be delivered globally to accommodate the locations of our esteemed clients. However, it’s particularly convenient and efficient when conducted within Africa in countries such as Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania - regions where we maintain established legal entities for seamless operations.

Gold-Bearing Ores: Substance of the Gold Mining Business
Gold-bearing ores refer to rock formations or minerals that contain significant amounts of the precious metal gold, often embedded within other materials such as quartz, pyrite, sulfides (like galena), and various types of sedimentary rocks. These ore deposits can vary widely in their composition and geological setting but are typically formed through processes like hydrothermal activity, volcanic eruptions, or weathering that concentrate gold into economically viable concentrations. The extraction process usually involves mining techniques followed by processing methods such as crushing, milling, flotation, gravity separation (e.g., panning), chemical leaching with cyanide solutions to dissolve the gold from its host minerals and then recovering it through precipitation or electro-winning processes.
Gold-bearing ores are the substances in the gold mining business.
In a car dealership, the substance is vehicles—new or used cars that customers purchase; in real estate, it encompasses properties such as houses, apartments, and commercial buildings for sale or rent; and in furniture manufacturing, the substance includes materials like wood, metal frames, upholstery fabrics, and finishes used to create chairs, tables bedsheets of various pieces sold to consumers. Similarly,gold-bearing ores are the essential substances that form the core ofoperations in the mining business. These ores contain valuable minerals that can be extracted through a series ofprocesses to yield precious metals such as gold. Just like other industries rely on their specific materials or products, miners depend on these ore deposits for economic viability and production output.
Three Major Types of Gold-Bearing Ores We Process
We are mining and processing three types of free-milling gold-bearing materials:
Lodes: These are veins or layers within rocks that contain valuable minerals, including gold.
Alluvial Deposits (Placer Ore): This type originates from the natural concentration of mineral particles in sedimentary deposits like riverbeds and beaches through geological processes such as erosion and deposition.
Tailings: Residual materials left over after processing lode or alluvial ores, which may still contain small amounts of gold that can be recovered using further extraction techniques.
We focus on extracting gold from these free-milling ore types in the initial stages of our mining operations, while refractory ores are addressed in subsequent phases as part of our Start Your Own Gold Mine program.

Starting a gold mining operation with a modest $8,000 investment, involving setup, equipment, and production stages to yield a potentially lucrative return. This specific strategic approach is distinct from traditional gold prospecting methods, where the focus is typically on searching for gold deposits in unexplored territories. Instead, we adopt a more targeted and efficient strategy, where we visit existing sites that have been previously mined or explored, and process their tailings, rocks, and gold-bearing ores.
- Importance of Representative Sample
A representative sample for gold grade is a meticulously collected and processed portion of ore that accurately reflects the average gold concentration of the entire mineral deposit. This sample is essential for determining the true value and potential profitability of a gold mining operation. To ensure its representativeness, the sampling process must follow standardized protocols, including proper sampling techniques, adequate sample size, and uniform distribution across different sections of the deposit. Additionally, the sample should undergo rigorous testing and analysis in a controlled laboratory environment to provide reliable and consistent gold grade measurements. By obtaining a representative sample, mining professionals can make informed decisions regarding extraction methods, resource estimation, and economic feasibility, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and success of gold recovery efforts.

SYOGM Rock Impact Mill refers to low-cost, highly efficient, crushing and grinding impact mill with capacity of 500 kg and even up to 900 kg per hour. Capacity depends of the operator's skills and speed of work. This type of rock impact mill can easily replace rudimentary and very expensive ball mills such as those used in East Africa, in Tanzania, Uganda or Kenya or neighboring countries. While local village miners need to dry their rocks, this rock impact mill will work with water and without drying. It may process dry rocks as well. The machine may be transported by 2 people from a car to operating site. Or it may be transported by one person and wheelbarrow. Thus it is very mobile. Recovery screen is 1 mm and may be adjusted. We know from practical testing and scientific journal that screen of 1.5 mm is good enough to achieve almost optimum recovery. Thus our screen of 1 mm is more than enough to provide optimum recovery for small scale miners in East Africa and in other countries. This is pass-through grinding machine. It means that it may be used for very quick gold discovery and field sampling.

- The Elephant Bee Hive Project in Katojo, Rubuguri, district of Kisoro, Uganda
The Elephant Bee Hive Project was the idea to place the beehives as a natural and live fence to deter elephants not to exit the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This way, people's crops could be saved. However, the idea is not practical, as many beehives were abandoned first by their bees, and second by their maintainers, the project is not functional, and requires skilled people to work. We have made our own Elephant Defense Project and have informed people that they could plant chilli pepper around the crops to deter elephants, further, we informed rangers of the Uganda Wild Life Authority that they could bringing elephants' dung from other places of the forest to deter them to exit the forest in the night. The implementation alone requires funding and investments. We can provide only the advice.

- Please tell me about capacity of crushing and grinding of gold bearing ores?
2019-08-29 Our local partner in Tanzania is asking about various parameters required to determine the rock crushing and grinding capacities, usually necessary to be provided to Chinese manufacturers of rock crushing and grinding machinery. We always recommend American based and European machinery before Chinese machinery, first for the moderate price, as when one knows where to purchase machinery, the quality and capacity of such machines are usually superior to Chinese made machines. Second because it is cheaper. Many purchase machinery in China, due to online marketing of chinese manufacturers. Pricing is yet still cheaper in USA, Canada and Europe. - Proper sampling mixing and reduction on canvas

NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. People collect one quarter of the sample into the gold pan. Please don't do this.
- Negative education on errors in sampling
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. People are using canvas incorrectly, removing sample into gold pan, not cleaning the canvas, and walking barefoot over mercury contaminated sample.
- Negative education on errors in quartering
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. People are trying to remove way to big sample part into the gold pan. Instead, additional canvas underneath shall be used first to remove the quarter and then to dispose of it.
- Negative education examples of quartering
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. The barefoot walking over material, dirty canvas, not cleaning and removing all particles of the sample.
- Quartering the sample
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure.
- Quartering the sample
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: This picture are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. Barefoot walking over the canvas, using small scoop to try to flatten the sample, not using any piece of cloth to clean the canvas and collect or particles together, those are the incoherent facts to be observed on this picture.
- People are using canvas to divide the sample in two parts
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. The incoherent facts that may be seen on this picture are dirt everywhere on the canvas, thus either removing the gold particles from the sample or contaminating parts of sample with it. Using hands too close on the sample material and barefoot walking over the canvas, thus either removing or contaminating the sample.
- The method to divide smaller sample in two parts
This pictures shows the starting position to divide the smaller sample into two parts.
- The sample as divided in two parts
This sample have been divided in two approximately equal parts.
- Division of the sample in two parts
On this picture one can see how sample have been divided on two parts.
- Coning the sample
After mixing the sample, it has to be coned and then flattened before quartering process.
- Mixing the sample in plastic canvas
While this picture cannot describe proper way of using canvas on how to mix the sample, it demonstrates the basic principle of rolling the sample in canvas.
- Sampling Errors in Practice
NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pages describe how not to do the sampling, coning and quartering, as these errors are common. Much care must be taken in doing this work, as well as to clean thoroughly the parts of the platform or canvas where the discarded metal has been in order to prevent salting. People walking barefoot on the mercury contaminated soil and other negative facts may be observed on this series of pictures.
- Removing the quarters into gold pan
Removing the quarter of the sample into the gold pan is easy task. We rather recommend using other piece of canvas underneath, so that sample is easier removed from it, and then later placed into buckets or bags. Much care must be taken in doing this work, as well as to clean thoroughly the parts of the canvas where the discarded metal has been in order to prevent salting.
- Flattening of the sample on canvas
The cone made out of the sample material shall be flattened on canvas so that easier quartering may take place in the second step.
- Sample in the middle of tabletop oilcloth, or this time tent plastic canvas
Here one can see the sample in the middle of the tent plastic canvas. The canvas shall be about 2 meters by 2 meters, this one is little larger. For larger canvas, more care must be taken to have proper mixing and removal of parts of sample during the quartering process. This picture is negatively educationl. Do not repeat what you see on this picture.
- Quartering - dividing the sample into four equal parts
Quartering is standard process to divide the sample into four equal parts. It is sample reduction process. Even though it may seem simple on pictures, it is not as simple if we are quartering sample which shall be assayed for gold grade. Small details of the techniques of quartering are very important, as otherwise gold contamination occurs and sample assays higher than it should be. Tips and tricks are explained on these pages about sampling and quartering methods. - Mixing the smple on table oilcloth, nylon or plastic canvas
This series of pictures will demonstrate how to mix the sample on the table oilcloth, nylon or plastic canvas. The procedure is standard, hundred yeasr old yet not as known and practiced by small scale miners in Africa.
- How to prepare the square table oilcloth for sample mixing
These pictures will show how to prepare the square table oilcloth or other type of plastic canvas for purposes of mixing the sample. The process is simple, find out what is the quantity of the sample, try to estimate the square size, find the table oilcloth, measure its width and if width is good enough for the sample size, cut it to the length of the width, and you have got the square. While this process may be sample in its words to some people, to some other people it is complicated. Pictures are there to give the mass to the reader so that process can be easier understood.

- Mixing the sample in canvas, video
Video showing people mixing the sample in canvas.
- Mixing the sample in canvas
To ensure an accurate gold concentration determination, individuals mix samples of mixed minerals on canvases using their hands or tools to achieve uniformity throughout and maintain consistent quality control measures such as uniform distribution across variables like geological conditions during formation and mining methods used for extraction. This also aids better understanding of ore quality distribution which is crucial when planning subsequent mining operations to maximize profit margins within given constraints, while minimizing environmental impact from inefficient resource utilization patterns.

The final sample max be mixed by various methods, standard method is quartering which may be done with shovels, with machines, and with canvas or table oilcloths, or other similar plastic canvas. On these pages we are demonstrating the process of preparation and mixing of the sample to educate our staff members and clients.
- Mr. Okedi, gold panning in Amonikakinei, Uganda
Mr. Okedi, a diligent sluice operation assistant from Uganda's Busia district, is currently engaged in gold panning at Amonikakinei beach in Uganda. This ancient method of extracting gold involves using tools like pans and sluices to separate lighter materials (gravel, sand) from heavier objects such as gold due to differences in density. Gold panning requires patience, skillful manipulation of water levels, keen observation for spotting gold particles, and physical labor. Mr. Okedi's work at Amonikakinei demonstrates the ongoing practice of this historical technique used worldwide by various cultures seeking natural wealth from river deposits like those found along River Okame in Uganda.

- Long-range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II exposed as fraudulent dowsing device in Tanzania
Yet another fraudulent geologist have been exposed as dowser and a modern "witch" in Tanzania. A fraudulent long-range locator device was used as fake metal detectors with claims to be able to find gold on distances such as up to 1000 meters on vertical and horizontal directions. The long-range locator device manufactured in China and named Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II have been exposed as dowsing device which falls in the category of witchcraft and not a science. The electronic circuits within the device detect no gold but are exclusively used to defraud people. Owners of such devices collect money from gullible small scale and artisanal miners in Tanzania. A simple test in our garden have exposed the owner not to be a geologist but a simple clown.
- Fraudulent dowsing device Forward Gauss VR 5000 exposed in Tanzania
The fraudulent dowsing device Forward Gauss VR 5000 exposed in Tanzania. The fraudulent team of "geologists" claimed to be able to find hidden treasure such as burial reserves and German antiques that include and are not limited to German Duss or Deutz stove, ironbox, lantern, radio, padlocks, axe, hammer, wallclock, gramophone, sword, beacon/bayonnetes, boots, belt, wristwatch, bottle, spoon, German militaria antiques which contain natural red mercury, More to these are high grade uranium, gemstones, diamond, gold and treasure boxes full of pure Silver wares and a lot more.
- Dowsing exposed in gold mining activities
Dowsing or rhabdomancy is searching for underground water or minerals by using a dowsing rod. We are exposing any and all dowsing methods that are too often used in East Africa, in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya by fraudulent geologist and operators who claim to be able to find valuable minerals by using dowsing and long-range locators which they call "detectors" but are nothing else but fraudulent devices. Too many small scale miners and artisanal miners and their families suffered for wrongdoings of dowsers or "geologist" who claimed to have dowsing abilities. Locating gold on distances of even several kilometers have been reported and exposed as false and fraudulent.
- Pouring the gold into the mold
You may see here how gold is quickly poured into the hot mold. After pouring the gold into the mold, shake it a little, give it few kicks, so that any remaining impurities, dirt or borax or remaining particles of gold may come out. Keep those impurities for later refining.
- Quickly adding gold scrap into the melting oven
If you wish to add some gold into the melting oven, do not delay as not to decrease the temperature. Quickly open the melting oven with one hand, and by using tweezers or small scoop, add the scrap gold into the oven.
- Human fat burning while melting the scrap gold
What you may see on this video is human fat burning while melting the gold scrap. Necklaces and bracelets often collect parts of human fat and during the melting stage they quickly burn out.
- Pouring the gold into the mold
Once gold has been melted in the melting oven, you are pouring the gold into the mold. There is no waiting time. The process must be done without delays. The mold must be heated and is usually held on the top of the oven to keep its temperature always hot. Asbestos gloves must be used, as otherwise you cannot handle the hot mold. You take the tweezers in the hand, quickly open the melting oven, then fix the crucible with tweezers and poour the gold into the mold.
- Quick gold mixing with the graphite stab
During the melting process one need to quickly open the melting oven, then use the special graphite stab to mix the gold, and then quickly close the melting oven.
- During melting mold is held on the hot gold melting oven
During the melting process the mold must be heated. As if the mold is not heated and very hot, pouring gold into cold mold would result with the burst of the melted gold. Basic safety gear are protective glasses, asbestos gloves and protective apron. When opening the oven to see or verify if gold have been melted, one should be fast. Open the oven, look inside, shake the gold, and close the oven as fast as possible. Don't let the temperature go down during your observation.
- The front panel of the melting oven for 1 kg of gold
This is the front panel of the small melting oven for gold. The maximum quantity for this melting oven is 1 kg of gold. This melting oven is ideal for scrap gold or gold nuggets. When recovering the gold from tailing heaps on mining sites in Tanzania, Uganda or Kenya, such gold often contains mercury. In that case it is advisable to first separate mercury by using retorts. After separation of mercury such melting oven as this one may be used to melt the final gold. Flux such as borax shall be used…
- Gold Melting Methods And Handlings
On these pages you may find some of gold melting methods and handlings. One would first need to consider all the safety precautions while melting gold. In the next step one need to know how to melt the gold properly. Not all types of gold are to be melted with the same method. Special precaution and care shall be given when handling any gold that would contain mercury. Even though our company do not buy or trade with gold that contains mercury, we often recover mercury from tailings, and in the case usage of retorts is necessary to prevent any contamination or disposal of mercury.
- Should I engage into gold cyanidation business?
This question is often answered by East African miners by actually engaging into gold cyanidation business. Some of them are winning, majority of them are loosing fortunes, and even if making it profitable, they are still loosing a lot of gold while endangering environment, animals, fish and crops around them. In the program Start Your Own Gold Mine we are not using any cyanidation methods. Out of this conversation an intelligent mind may find clues and indications that may be useful before deciding to engage into any type of gold cyanidation and leaching methods.

- Visit to SAMA Syanyonja Artisan Miners' Association in Busia, Uganda
This picture have been made few days after my visit to SAMA Syanyonja Artisan Miners' Alliance and demonstration mine promoting fairtrade gold, in association with EWAD and Fairtrade, where they state that they do not employ children in their mine.
- Fancy insect passing over
This is nice fancy insect passing over. Is it going to convert to butterfly? We do not know. I just know I like it.
- Children in Uganda
These children we met playing on the mining site. That sounds dangerous and it is. Yet we cannot control families and their children and mining site was not under our control. We did warn them to take care and be careful. They liked our visit.
- The excavated open pit
This is excavated open pit that was explored by artisanal miners some years before. Small number of miners are still working in this area and recovering gold every day. Majority of them abandoned the sites and went to new gold rush locations.
- Mr. Louis in front of the open pit
The open pit behind me is possible gold mining opportunity that we may explore in soonest future.
- Previous mining locations
On these locations many artisanal miners have previously recovered gold and lived from it. Today many are still there even though the majority of miners abandoned the place and went somewhere else. So is the gold rush in Uganda.
- Dirty feet
Those are my dirty feet and shoes in Uganda.
- Travel to prospecting location in Uganda
This is picture of our travel today on 15th January 2018 to the new prospecting and prospective location. On such new location we have gold mining opportunity to obtain new ores and process it. The location was occupied by artisanal miners before some years.
- Preparation of rudimentary sluice for ore processing in Uganda
This is rudimentary sluice that is being prepared by our neighboring miners. In my opinion this type of the sluice is way to wide, not evenly balanced, with too steep slopes, and too high to load it with the ores. We cannot recommend small scaler miners and artisanal miners to make this type of sluices. That is inefficient as it requires much energy, material will not be evenly spread and gold would be lost.
- Mr. Okedi collecting concentrates from looped carpets
Looped carpets or miners' moss or 3M Nomad type of a carpets are used to efficiently recover gold larger than 50 mesh, gold nuggets, flakes and larger gold. On the end of the day and multiple times of day, concentrates are collected from such carpets.
- Mr. Louis doing practical field assay of gold
Mr. Louis is doing here practical field assay of gold content in some soil. Similar method may be used to concentrate gold from the operation and to determine how much was recovered.
- Magnified flat gold nugget in the gold pan
This is magnified and flat gold nugget in the pan. It is probably flat due to the previous ball mill processing, it was smashed and became flat.
- Small nuggets recovered
Small flat nuggets are also found in concentrates and recovered by using super-concentration and simple gold panning methods.
- Mercury gold and mercury ball in the gold pan
This is how it looks like when many gold particles are connected or amalgamated together with mercury. Miners used mercury in recovery of gold, and lost it in heaps of tailings. We are recovering both the mercury and the gold from such tailings, without using new mercury or introducing new mercury in the process.
- The mercury gold once again
This is mercury gold once again shown in the gold pan after fine gold concentration process. We do not use mercury, we recover it as side effect.
- Mercury recovered from concentrates
Instead of nice yellow gold, our gold looks as silver like, as it is mixed with mercury. Heaps of tailings are polluted with mercury and our recovery is such that we cannot see it yellow any more unless it is either microscopic, as such could not be connected to mercury or too large as nugget, as such also did not connect to mercury.
- The fine gold recovery system
This is fine gold recovery system that helps us concentrate all the gold smaller than 50 mesh.
- Gold is recovered in form of mercury
Heaps of tailings are polluted by mercury from previous mining operation. We are recovering mercury as well with the gold, and later dispose safely with the pollutant. Mercury is not used in our operation. We recover mercury from nature.
- Fine gold recovery system
This is fine gold recovery systems, we are using the genious methods invented by smart microscopist from Oregon for purposes of mercury free gold recovery.
- Concentrate is being processed
Mr. Louis is processing the remaining concentrates and process is fast. It is possible to process multiple buckets of concentrates after work, and to get to the fine gold within 15 minutes.
- The gold recovery system
This is view from my working place on the gold recovery system for all gold smaller than 50 mesh, down to 5 microns. This fine gold can be recovered, totally without using mercury and by using simplest set theory in mathematics applied practically. Many people make a question how a set theory may be applied practically, and that is exactly how our gold recovery system works, by using the set theory and by removing those parts of material not containing or containing gold.
- Buckets of concentrate are today processed for gold
The buckets of concentrate are today processed for gold. In general, our bulk of concentrate is not large. These many buckets contain various particle sizes and types of gold, and help in sorting out what we were doing. We can then determine which heap of tailing was better productive.
- Children panning for gold on mining site
These children are panning for gold on mining site in a dangerous and polluted environment. Each heap of tailings is polluted with mercury. Children are in constant contact with mercury while playing and working on the mining site. We do not endorse such activities. This is report from neighboring sites where we do not have control.
- Heaps of tailings being milled again and processed
These heaps of tailings are being milled again with the rudimentary locally made hammer crusher that runs in wet mode. The material is then processed on small looped carpet sluices. The hammer crusher is spending about 25,000 Ugs. per day on hammers alone, which is about US $6.95.

- Gold nugget of 2-3 mm under magnification
This small gold nugget has size of 2-3 millimeter, and is magnified for 10x by using the jeweler's loupe and a simple mobile phone camera. It was recovered by using special matting on our sluice in Uganda.
- Fine gold particles
These fine gold particles appear silver like color on this picture, but they were in fact yellow. When magnified under the lack of the light, the mobile phone is giving somehow distorted image.
- Preparing the sluice for work
Mr. Louis is here preparing the sluice for work. Some key details are not shown on the picture, and are rather revealed to clients in the Start Your Own Gold Mine program. This is testing sluice whereby we are testing the capability to recover gold by at least 98% and where we are determining what else need to be improved for the actual sluice to be constructed.
- The sluice setup on January 11th 2018
This is our sluice setup on January 11th 2018. We are definitely able to recover gold nuggets and fine gold particles.
- Administration before the daily work
We always have administrative tasks to do, before, during and after the work. We record, measure, notify, obtain receipts, demand signatures, and do whatever necessary administration tasks.
- Concentrate collection
On the end of the day, concentrate is collected and retained for further concentration and final gold recovery.
- Miners working on the sluice
Miners are handling the first tailings heaps on this mining site.
- Women and people panning for gold nearby our tailings heaps
These women and men are panning for gold just nearby our tailings heaps. They may obtain per day of panning from 0.1 to 0.3 grams of gold, or sometimes more. It helps them live the life.
- Mining and mineral processing site
This is our mining and mineral processing site where we have agreement to process all the tailings heaps.
- Miners feeding the sluice
Sluice is fed by miners by the rate of 132 shovels per hour where average shovel is about 8 kilograms, amounting to little bit more than one tonne per hour. In the first stage, slow water pressure and low slope is applied to review how much of gold is retained and what gold is eventually being lost. Once capability have been attained, the slope is increasing up to the tolerated degree, and water pressure is increased. Up to 6-8 tonnes per hour may then be handled in the second stage.
- Concentrate on the vortex matting
This is vortex matting, enlarged. Concentrate is under the surface of these particles, including several small gold nuggets.
- Mr. Louis by the sluice
This is Mr. Louis, preparing small details for the fine gold recovery sluice. Gold particles are so small that cannot be seen by naked eyes.

This is old and abandoned rudimentary ball mill drum on the mining site. One may see how it was repaired multiple times. We suspect gold inside, left for those who know where to search for it.
- Black sand after classification
Black sand has been classified and is now in the bucket.
- Classification of black sand
The classifiers are mounted onto buckets and black sand is separated in various particle size groups. Same procedure may be used in mercury free gold recovery.
- Black sand preparation and separation
On this picture one may see the simple tools used to prepare the black sand, to separate it, or better say classify it into various sizes. This preparation was necessary in the area which lacks the black sand and where much of eluvial gold is found. Contrary to what majority of prospectors are saying that black sand is disturbing them in gold separation and recovery, we are using it directly to capture the fine gold particles.
- Separation of black sand
Black sand, what it is? One may see on this picture that it appears actually black. Not always so. Sometimes it is redish or dusty orange or simple dusty. Most of times it appears darker than other types of sand. It is magnetic and one may see magnet on picture lifting and separating black sand from the rest. Its specific gravity is higher than usual silica sand or quartz sand for 3-4 times. It consists of magnetite and hematite and other heavier minerals. Not all of them have same magnetic attraction.

This neodymium magnet is used to collect particles of black sand. As you can see the magnetite and hematite are attracted to magnet. Hematite may be collected with neodymium magnets, but not with any type of magnets.
- The rock crusher, rudimentary batch ball mill
This is the rock crusher. In Swahili in Tanzania, this crusher is known as calasher. It is a rudimentary ball mill made in Uganda. But we are in Uganda now, and this rock crusher has 33 rotations per minute and may crush about 100 kilograms per hour. Handling it and operation is dangerous. Injuries happen. And the crusher itself may run out of its stand, and start rotating on the mining site. And kill somebody. That happened already. But not on our mining site. Thus crusher is used in Uganda on the…

- The mercury coated or amalgamated gold in the gold pan
This is the enlargement of the mercury coated or amalgamated gold in the gold pan.
- Mercury gold and small gold particles recovered
Mercury gold is seen in the gold pan and represents the result from one portion of the concentrates that were collected on the sluice. Mercury collects small particles of gold together, and we recovery mercury and dispose of it. We do not use mercury in recovery of the gold. We recover both gold and mercury accidentally due to previous mercury pollution.
- Sluice handling
People are handling the sluice for fine gold recovery. We are using 4 important pieces of technology necessary to capture small gold. The test stage allows a lot of mistakes to happen, so that next sluice may be built with all the small improvements necessary for better gold recovery.
- Feeding the sluice
The sluice is fed during the first half an hour of testing. Clay material was much harder to handle, while all the sand was handled pretty well, mercury and gold particles could be recovered, together with the oxide coated gold particles.
- Laminar water flow
Laminar water flow on the sluice is important factor in gold recovery. Turbulences and bubbles or air spaces under the water flow shall by all means be avoided.
- Gold particles are separated on the sluice
Sluice and the slick plates on the first part of the sluice are being separated from each other and gold particles are running to be captured. Water flow is carefully observed, the level of the sluice, bubbles and turbulences.
- So many hoses, pipe, which one is ours?
There are so many hoses and pipes on the ground, many of them are neglected. Miners do their best. Due to expenses, light blue hoses are used to bring water. But they are also breaking all the time and are more liability than an asset. We are using the HDPE pipe of two inch as it is durable and gives least resistant to water in comparison to those other soft hoses.
- The HDPE pipe is being moved for easier water supply
The HDPE pipe is moved by our people for easier water supply. That way we did not need to cut the expensive suction hose which we use to bring water from the HDPE pipe. HDPE means high density polyethylene. Polyethylene is a lightweight thermoplastic used in insulation, plumbing and similar applications.
- The sluice ready for the tailings heap test
The sluice is setup on the mining site on 1st January 2018 and is ready for the tailings test. Larger gold particles were found and much of the smaller particles of black, brown and dark red gold. Maybe you wonder what is black, brown and dark red gold? Those gold particles are coated with other minerals and do not appear as yellow and shiny as larger gold particles.
- Injury on the mining site
Fingers were cut on the sluice on the attempt to remove some small rocks. But small rocks were made of quartz. Sharp quartz.
- The empty mining site on 26th December 2017
This is the empty mining and mineral processing site on 27th December 2017 in Uganda. People went for Christmas, we remained with few people for work. There was plenty of time to field assay the tailings heap that was first in the row out of many.
- Gold flake in the gold pan
Small gold flake was found in the gold pan during the gold panning on the materials from tailings.
- Prospecting in the tailings after the sluice
Local miners remain with tailings after the sluice. Here I am verifying their tailings and losses. Such material was tested by using Garrett Super Sluice to quickly determine what is being lost. Several flakes of gold of 1 millimeter have been found, and one nugget of 2 millimeter. Multiple small particles of gold including mercury have been found as well. It proved again the losses of artisanal miners and gave us assurance of profitability of the tailings.
- Conducting the field assay on the tailing heap
It was 26th December 2017. I was conducting the more proper field assay on the tailings heap to determine the number of gold particles and to get a feeling of what it is inside. When I say "more proper" it means that there may be various factors influencing the analysis of the tailings heap. The result was fantastic in the sense that I could recover all the smallest particles of gold, even hardly visible under the magnifier, including the mercury particles. Thus we may determine on the spot and within…
- The black sand separation system
This is our black sand separation system. When concentrate contains some gold and we do not want to recover the small gold, but need some black sand, we are using the classic magnetic separation from one bowl to other bowl. The concentrate is first dried on the stove, then black sand is removed for our purposes. The black sand removal for purposes of gold recovery is efficient with this method only if you have very small amount of concentrate. With bucket large concentrates this method is very slow…

During first government visits in Tanzania, back in 2012, we visited also the Chamber of Commerce. The building was pretty hidden and virtually deserted. No customers or businessmen observed at premises. We have to pass the gun control and sign up in the book of visitors. We had idea to purchase gold in Tanzania by using a bank guarantee. This deal have been shown later as fake and fraudulent. Chamber of Commerce had no means to help us with gold purchases and in general those few women working there…
- Way too expensive hotel in Dar es Salaam
Before we arrived to Dar es Salaam, first time, back in 2012, we were reading in the tourist guide not to trust the taxi drivers to bring us to hotels. And then I did exact same mistake. I told him to bring us to inexpensive hotel, yet he brought us to the expensive one. Taxi drivers in Dar es Salaam are sharing their commissions with hotels. If you wish to sleap cheaply, the price of 10 dollars is enough for a good hotel. Remember that. If you wish to sleep even cheaper it is possible for US $4.48…

The fine gold system is conducted by Mr. Louis in the shade of the storage and accommodation building. Few buckets, gold pans, classifiers, and super-concentration helps in recovery of the finest gold particles. Both the beach sand and tailing heaps have been proven to contain fine gold and that is the target of the operation on this mining site. The recovery of fine gold in multiple tailing heaps.
- Fine gold recovered after test of the tailing
The fine gold have been recovered after the test of the tailing heaps and beach sand. The beach sand is containing fine gold and mercury together from previous mining operations. People are bringing sand and soil all the time to wash it on the river. Beach contains a lot of fine gold and few nuggets. The tailing heaps contain fine gold and small nuggets as well. This fine gold as shown on the picture have been recovered without any mercury, by using simplest tools for gold prospecting.

Not that I wanted this. But it is how it is. Chicken and goats are continously on the mining site and drinking whatever water they find around. This gold pan had black sand particles with gold and mercury smaller than 200 mesh. It was sieves with the 200 mesh sieve. Such fine gold smaller than 200 mesh, including even smaller mercury particles are floating in the water. These chicks are drinking both the fine gold particles floating in the water and mercury particles as well. Mercury is a pollutant…
- The fine gold recovery system
This is our fine gold recovery system. A set of buckets and basins, classifiers, sluices, gold pans. Very simple. We can recover finest gold particles without using mercury. Process is fast and simple and we use the principle and the rule that key to recovery of gold is concentration. So we do that. We concentrate it. First we are concentrating the gold on the fine gold sluice. Then we obtain the concentrates we concentrate the concentrates on a smaller sluice and get very much of the gold in very…
- The tailing heap
This is the tailing heap being processed by the fellow miner on the location. The expected outcome is about 50 grams, up to 100 grams, with the initial expense of just 10 grams and later running expenses.
- The raised operation on the heap
The operation of tailing processing is raised so that hammer crusher is placed on the top of the heap and sluices down. The second sluice have too much of the slope and also very turbulent water flow that simply looses a lot of gold. 1-2 grams of gold lost per day makes a lot of money on the end of the month.
- Find out where is the assaying sluice...
On this picture one may observe the flow of the processed tailing, and there is one small assaying sluice capturing the fine gold particles. Try to find out where it is. Do you see it?…
- The tailing heap after re-processing
These tailing heaps are ending on the location just nearby the river thus polluting the area with the mercury particles. River is fully polluted, cows are drinking the same water and mercury is slowly transported to human bodies.
- Miners' moss and the turbulent water flow
Miners are using this type of a setup with two sluices after the hammer crusher. That is for the reason that the crusher cannot easily be stopped and started again, so they close one of the outputs to clean the carpet on one side while the other one is still running. Miners' moss is incorrectly set, the water flow is turbulent, and expanded metal is missing to push the gold particles quickly down into the carpets. A simple test have revealed that a lot of gold is being lost, just as much as one would…
- The "Wett Mill" or locally made hammer crusher and processing of tailing
This is "wet mill" or locally made hammer crusher that breaks each in a while. The maintenance expenses may be alone 3,500,000 Ugs. (Ugandan shillings) per month. The hammers are constantly replaced and the machine once running cannot be easily turned off. It mills rocks just for a certain percentage, large amount of pebbles and rocks come out as not well done.
- The method of collecting the black sand
We are collecting the black sand. This is one effective method. On this place we lack black sand as we are using it to collect fine gold particles. On the place where other people generate concentrates we are using their concentrates to find black sand usable in our application of mercury free gold recovery.
- The heavy chains in hardware store in Busia
The heavy chains in hardware store in Busia may be used in the chain impact mill that may influence the gold recovery.
- One way to connect the suction hose and plastic pipe
This is one way to connect the softer suction hose of 2 inch and the plastic pipe which is exactly the same size as the suction hose. The suction cannot be put directly onto this plastic pipe as how we have done that in Tanzania. The pipe is simple of different type over here. We have cut two pieces of the plastic pipe and then cut it on one side of the pipe, along the side. One piece have been bent and made smaller, expandable due to its elasticity and placed it inside the suction hose and the plastic…
- Connecting hoses and pipes with rubber strings
The rubbers are made out of the bicycle inner tyre and sold for 1,000 Ugandan shillings which is about US $0.27.
- Miners shoveling sand into the sluice
Miners are shoveling the sand into the sluice for fine gold recovery.
- Spray bars are washing quickly the soil
Soil is washed on these spray bars and it is giving quite good output of about 4-5 tonnes per hour. Fine gold can be captured with this water flow. Sluices are wide enough and water flow is not disturbing the recovery.
- The work on the sluice
There was some work on the sluice primarily for the purpose to collect a lot of black sand for later work, yet fine gold particles and fine mercury particles were there as well. Mercury will be collected for proper disposal and is not used in gold recovery.
- One shovel is finished within seconds, about 40-50 kilograms is washed in one minute
Just about 40-50 kilogram is washed within a minute, one person is enough to feed this sluice. That alone makes 4-5 tonnes per hour. Sluice may collect fine gold particles, mercury for disposal purposes, and larger nuggets.
- Using candle, plyers and nail to make the simplest spray bars
Simplest spray bars are easily constructed on the spot by using the candle, matchboxes, pliers and the nail. Nail is heated and used to pierce the plastic pipes. We are using enough holes for about 60% of the water to come out, which makes nice shower. I guess we shall put few more holes for some 70% - 75% of the water supply.
- The turbulence on the sluice
Water turbulences on the sluice are not wished and wanted. Such turbulences shall be lessened by adjustments of the spray bars. Fine gold does not like being pushed with sudden bursts of water.
- The vortex matting is being washed to dissolve any water tension
Various particles on the vortex matting may create the tension so that water cannot enter the small wells or dimples. That includes the black sand and fine gold particles, they may run over the matting without being captured. Washing it with the environmentally friendly dish soap breaks the tensions and helps the fine gold to settle nicely.
- Miner working with hydro-nozzle in Uganda
The hydro-nozzle is used here to suck the sand into the pipe and then straight into the sluice. Miner is getting used to it.
- Miners working with hydro-nozzle
The hydro-nozzle is used here to wash the sand on the river beach for the test of the sluice and water supply.
- The hydro-nozzle setup
This was the simple and improvized hydro-nozzle setup on the sand beach of the river Okame. The hydro-nozzle was first time utilized in this location. People were curious to see that new mzungu technology.
- The pump is working surprisingly well
The Chinese WD or WX-20 pump, whatever, is re-branded pump and sold by many various different companies. It is working surprisingly well. And is giving more water than enough for our purposes.
- The setup of the pump for the dredge test on river Okame in Uganda
The pump was set up as on this picture for the dredge test on the river okame. The hydro-nozzle was tested and is able to pick up a lot of sand. It requires a strong pump of 2 inch and on almost the full speed.
- The hydro-nozzle in action in Uganda
The hydro-nozzle is being tested on the sand beach in Uganda. Fine gold and fine mercury was found in the beach. Too many people were there over few last years washing both gold and mercury particles. River is thus polluted.
- Preparation of the bottom part of the sluice
The bottom part of the sluice is being prepared for testing stage.
- The polluted feces of the skinned goat
The polluted feces of the skinned goat contains a lot of plastic. Goats were eating whatever they found around. It was not a witchcraft. It was polluted environment.
- Skinned goat, and polluted with plastic
The goat is skinned for feast, yet polluted with plastic. A person asked me to come there to ask me something, and I came. I said by joke it is witchcraft. But the guy really was thinking it is. What happened is that they found some plastic in the goat. Due to the environment polluted with plastic, the goat had stomach full of it.
- It almost fell into the trench
The HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe almost fell into the trench, our boys are handling it.
- The HDPE pipe is near the river
The HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe is almost at the river place.
- 100 meter may not be as easy as one thinks
The 100 meter distance to the river may not be as easy to handle as one thinks. The mud is just everywhere and legs get stuck into it. Pipe itself as made out of the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is heavy and requires handling.
- Moving the HDPE pipe to the river
The HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe is brought to the river for testing purposes. We wish to test the pump for its capability to bring us enough water to the sluice which is 100 meter distant.
- The HDPE pipe is brought to the the river
The HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe is brought to the river for testing purposes. We wish to test the pump for its capability to bring us enough water to the sluice which is 100 meter distant.
- The open pit after the work of the excavator
This open pit was run and dug by excavator in last three days and people are trying to reach the gold bearing rocks. They actually reached it, only lack the knowledge of prospecting to continually verify the material and lack the equipment to process it. There is often more work than necessary which increases the expenses. Sometimes just 10 bags of materials are discarded and 22 grams of gold found. But the process of transport of the material is stopped, and delayed by long time of such verification.
- Wooden sawhorses, the HDPE pipe and timber on the site
The wooden goats, the HDPE pipe and timber is ready on the site to be used for processing of the tailing.
- Wooden goats for various applications
Wooden goats may be used for various applications, such as improvized desks, even beds, work benches, and the sluice setup for recovery of the gold.
- Simple petrol run pump for about 600 liters per minute
This is simple 2 inch petrol pump for about 600 liters per minute, which is about 36 m³ of water per hour. Yet, we do not need that much water and intend to run the pump throttled down so that 6 tonnes of material can be processed per hour. Once that has been achieved, further adjustments can be made to increase the speed of processing.
- Heaps of tailing in the background
The tailing may be seen in background, there are many heaps of tailing containing the fine gold and some coarse gold. The lost fine gold may be still recovered. We are researching if such operation will be profitable for us.
- The layers of rock in the open pit
The layers of rock are visible in this open pit and may be traced to the gold bearing rocks.
- Layers of rocks visible in the open pit
The layers of rocks are visible in this open pit and may be traced down to the source.
- The sample application of wooden goats
Wooden goats may be used as a work bench or for the sluice that one may see on this picture. They are supportive improvized tool in any bush or open air work.
- Wooden boards obtained from a village
These wooden boards have been obtained from a village few kilometers far from the mineral processing location.
- Cutting timber in the forest
Timber is cut in the forest and quickly converted into wooden boards that will be used for the washing of the soil of the tailing heaps and for benches, desks and similar.
- Cutting timber in the forest
The timber is cut directly in the forest and sold to us, then brought to the mining site for purposes of assembly of the sluice boxes, benches, tables and similar.
- Open pit mining in Uganda
The open pit mining is a popular way in Busia as in 2017 and one, two years earlier. Yet, the excavations often lacks proper planning and work stagnate easily even when a lot of gold has been found.
- The vortex matting on the sluice
The vortex matting is on the sluice. One piece on the left side looks like incorrectly cut, we could say so. Yet the sides will be covered and pushed down by pieces of wood, and that is not essential.
- The sluice work in gold recovery
The sluice work in gold recovery may be one of most important stages. Nobody wish to loose gold. If there is production every day, few grams of lost gold may not mean nothing. Yet if the gold is lost over and over again for many days, weeks and months, the loss gold is of considerable value and care must be taken to retain it.
- Cutting and preparing the vortex matting for the sluice
We are cutting and preparing the vortex matting for the sluice. With some lack of proper tools and within this environment we did it pretty well. Cutting is not as easy.
- Funny looking rooster
This funny looking rooster we found in Tororo, while purchasing the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe connectors and other small stuff necessary for business.
- Tororo rock in Tororo city, Uganda
This is well known Tororo rock in the Tororo city in southeastern Uganda. It emerges there out of nothing, and no other hills are visible in the area.
- Fine Gold Recovery Methods And Results
Fine gold recovery methods and results are discussed in this category. That is an important money bringing subject in gold mining. Fine gold is so much lost in mining operations, and is everywhere in existence, yet cannot be captured by well known or popular methods. There are only few inexpensive methods that exist in the world that can give good results in recovery of fine gold. Classification of particle sizes before the final recovery is one of the key principles that each gold prospector shall know and use. Gold panning is the other one. Fine gold can be easily panned out when all procedures are respected.
- Processing the one pan of tailing within 5 minutes
One pan of tailing soil was processed within 5 minutes in order to find the fine gold particles. Once fully understood, the process may be repeated over and over again with accuracy and certainty. It requires that a gold prospector or miner fully process the material and get a feeling of how much gold is inside there. And then by comparing those tests one may get a feeling of the ratio. In the same time I am mentioning accuracy and certainty, and then there is the contradiction that one need to get…
- You should be using always the same quantity of material when testing for gold
This is one Garrett Prospecting Gold Pan full and leveled with classified soil from a tailing heap. The soil was first classified for particles larger than 8 mesh, to find out what percentage of larger gravel is in the heaps. Then it was classified for particles smaller than 20 mesh, as I did not want to test for gold nuggest larger than 20 mesh. I know they do exist in these heaps from other tests. And I am fine with it. There is no point in searching for few nuggets in large volume of material…
- Tiny gold nugget on left side and mercury coated gold on the right side of the gold pan
Here one may see the tiny nugget. I have recovered it by using sieves or classifiers, the green classifying pans for prospecting minerals. They can be used to find gemstones and gold nuggets. The soil that was in the area of gold panning was simply classified. When I found the gold nugget visually, I have simply transferred it into the pile of 20 mesh to 30 mesh sized gravel. Later I tried to pan it, I did not find this nugget, and somehow I was sorry for that, but I kept the quantity. Then again…
- The spray of water on the left side designates the water losses in pumping
This spray of water is the loss and many such holes in the hoses influence the final water volume on the sluice. It also increases the fuel consumption.
- Water loss in pumping
The water is lost in pumping if hoses are not tight. Pressure is lost and less water arrives to destination, the sluice for washing the gold ores.
- Gold nugget
This gold nugget was recovered by panning.
- Gold nugget on my hand
This is yet another smaller gold nugget on my hand.
- A gold nugget on the prospecting sluice
One gold nugget may be seen on the prospecting sluice.
- 0.89 grams of gold on the pocket scale
This gold was collected with one of our sluice that helped in fine gold recovery.
- 11.42 grams of gold before the end of the shift
11.42 grams of gold were recovered this day before the end of the shift. This gold contains dangerous mercury, which we do not endorse or use. It was recovered with some of our help, but miners used their own methods. Mercury is dangerous chemical and not advisable for anything. It shall be disposed as waste.
- 6.44 grams of gold recovered on the sluice
The black nylon part of the sluice with a wooden stopper has helped to recover these 6.44 grams of gold. It means, no other technology was used, just a stopper to stop the majority of gold to go over to the sluice.

The picture was made after the work. Mr. Louis is moving with the equipment to the side.
- Gold nuggets recovered on 18th December 2017
These are beautiful gold nuggets. Picture is slightly changed in its tone.
- The flow on the sluice
The narrow sluice is captuing a lot of fine gold.
- Fine gold is captured
This setup is capturing fine gold particles.
- The improved super-concentration of gold concentrates
This is improved super-concentration of gold concentrates. The traditional sluice is simply extended with the technology we use to capture the finest gold particles.
- 0.11 grams of gold nuggets on the pocket scale
These gold nuggets were recovered by sluicing and gold panning.
- 4.79 grams of gold on the pocket scale
This gold was recovered on 18th December 2017.
- 4.44 grams of gold on the pocket scale
This gold was recovered on 18th December 2017…
- 0.37 grams of gold on the pocket scale
This is 0.37 grams of gold on the pocket scale.
- This is mercury gold and gold nuggets
One may see on the left side the gold recovered by mercury which is of silver color and few gold yellow gold nuggets on the right side recovered on the sluice and by gold panning. We do not endorse any mercury recoveries.
- Gold nuggets
These gold nuggets are not as heavy, they are enlarged in the image, and were recovered today on 18th December 2017.
- Gold nuggets, macro picture
This is yet another picture of smaller gold nuggets recovered by gold panning and concentration on the sluice.
- Gold nugget in a gold pan
This is gold nugget.

My gold pan is scratched. Yet we can recover gold nuggets as these.
- Gold nugget on my hand
This gold nugget was recovered on this day of 18th December 2017 by gold panning.
- Miners' Moss or spaghetti carpet
This type of miners's moss or spaghetti carpets are used to capture fine gold. That is certainly not the best solution, yet it is used to created kilograms of gold in Uganda.
- The rudimentary sluice is being upgraded
This rudimentary sluice is being upgraded with piece of technology that may capture finest gold particles. Yet only with the proper setup the majority of gold may be recovered. The water pressure cannot be too much, material cannot be washed to fast. There are many other factors influencing the gold recovery rate.
- Gold nugget directly recovered on the sluice
This gold nugget was directly recovered on the sluice on the nylon, while washing the concentrated material. It represents the lack of riffles or proper sluice to recover such nuggets.
- This is fine gold under the magnifier
This is fine gold, many particles of fine gold are seen under the magnifier and image captured by mobile phone.
- Fine gold line
This is the line of fine gold under the magnifier.
- Fine gold particles concentrated on the sluice
The local sluice allows one to observe the finest gold particles being concentrated on the first part of the sluice.
- The piece of black nylon is showing fine gold
This piece of black nylon have been mounted on the gold washing sluice and is being washed with pretty clean water from the nearest river Okame in Uganda. On such nice piece of black nylon, one may see how finest gold particles are being concentrated.
- Gold particles with mercury
The tailing as being produced by artisanal miners in Uganda contains a lot of mercury inside and thus gold is recovered that contain a lot of mercury. It is not yellow but of silver color. We do not endorse usage of mercury in mining operations. However, we do recover gold that may contain mercury or traces of mercury. Such mercury, when recovered by our company, is disposed and exported as waste to secure locations.
- Mr. Louis showing the gold nuggets to the miner
Mr. Louis is showing the gold nuggets to the miner, after demonstrating him the classification process. Gold nuggets may be easily recovered once classification of concentrate have been finished.
- Gold nugget in the gold pan
The gold nugget in the gold pan was panned by myself after the classification of particles into 3 separate sizes, larger than 20 mesh, particles between 20 and 30 mesh, and particles smaller than 30 mesh. After such classification of particle sizes, it was a matter of few minutes to pan out the larger gold nuggets.
- Basins are never enough
One of the out-points or better say not logical facts that we found on this mining site is the lack of basins and containers for the concentrates and handling of concentrates. Buckets were completely missing. Basins were not in best shapes. So every single action is coping or exchanging with other basins containing always some gold inside. It creates new risks in handling gold and delays the operation.
- Gold nugget recovered by simple panning
After washing the concentrates as created by neighbor, all the details of such concentrates have been analyzed. The procedure have been tested and devised which would be the best to collect simply all of the gold. The concentrate was such that it could contain even 3 grams big gold nuggets, which we did not find today. It contains a lot of fine gold due to the accumulation of black sands found in spaghetti carpets or miners' moss, and it contains a lot of smaller nuggets of the size of about 30-60…
- Mercury gold recovery is dangerous and poisonous business
Mercury is a dangerous substance which we do not recommend to anybody in mining operations. There are many good mercury free gold recovery methods. Why pay for mercury when gold can be recovered without mercury? No American or European gold prospector is using mercury in their operations. So just stop using it, stop getting sick and stop polluting your environment.
- Miners feeding the hammer crusher in background
Those two miners in background are feeding the hammer crusher while I am handling the super concentrate.
- Helping the neighbor
The super-concentration and handling of concentrates for the neighbor helped me understand much about the operation, the soil, the tailing and gold inside. It was not all how I have expected it. One need to see it practically, to understand what is required to handle such soil. There are factors that are important to note: - the type of machinery that people are using to create such tailings, - the particle sizes that such machinery is producing, - the particles sizes of gold that such machinery…
- Little wet...
It was raining, so we are wet for a while.
- Rain on the mining site
During the rain we can still test the surface sand for existence of gold, and if not, we can collect black-sands.
- During the rain
The rain is falling down as fast as possible. We have to wait until it is over.
- Collecting black sand
The black sand is collected not always for reasons of having concentrates.

The HDPE pipes of 150 meters are brought to the mining site, together with the production sluice and other gold prospecting equipment. The purpose of the project is to improve the mining site and have a complete production line.
- Loading 150 meter of 2 inch HDPE pipe onto the pick-up truck
The 2 inch HDPE or High Density Polyethylene pipe of 150 meter is loaded onto the truck for water supply on the mining site. Even though we do not know quite at this moment if it will give us correct water pressure, we simply need to try it out.
- Moving the stuff to the mining site
The basic stuff and prospecting tools including the large production sluice are moved to the mining site.
- When nothing works, push it
Guys are pushing to pick-up vehicle to start it.

We are loading some of the mining equipment on the pick-up truck and moving near the mining site.
- Moving from Busia to Ndaiga, Uganda
We are moving from this nice house in Busia to Ndaiga for work on the mining site.
- Water pump from Swiss company Ennos
This water pump works on solar power directly. It has a built-in solar controler. It is produced by Swiss company, I just guess "Ennos". The price in Uganda is way too much, it is good for richer people or companies. What is good is that it can push water on long distance, even 2 kilometers. The watter supply by this pump is not sufficient for direct mining purposes. It may be used for collection of water in water tanks for later work.
- Simple improvized wooden table
Improvized wooden desks or tables are easily made and can be used on mining site. For some reason local carpenters are harder to understand what means "improvized", and they always tend to make "beautiful" desks.

- Baboons along the road in Busitema forest in Uganda
These baboons are walking along the road in Busitema forest in Uganda often fed by travelers with some food. We do not advise feeding baboons on the road as that creates their habits and changes their life style. Food is there enough.
- Baboons in the Busitema forest in Uganda
Here again, few baboons are on the road in Busitema forest in Uganda, near Busia.
- Work on the open pit
Miners are working on the open pit in Uganda. Rich gold ore have been identified and need to be reached once again. Excavating activities require better planning. This mining site was not managed by our company at the time of creation of this picture.
- Neglected water hoses
These water hoses are pretty neglected and harder to maintain. We will use the HDPE or High Density Polyethylene pipes of two inches which are more robust, and will have less resistance in transferring the water from one place to other. Polyethylene is a lightweight thermoplastic used especially in packaging and insulation, while thermoplastic is a material that softens when heated and hardens again when cooled.
- Neglected water hoses
These water hoses are seriously neglected and in bad shape. Trucks are moving over the hoses, and people are trying to repair it all over again and again. We do not want to implement these blue soft hoses in our operation of processing of the gold bearing tailing heaps. Rather we will use the HDPE or High Density Polyethylene pipes of two inches which are more robust, and will have less resistance in transferring the water from one place to other. Polyethylene is a lightweight thermoplastic used…

- Possible accommodation nearby the mining sites
This is how possible accommodation look like in the village nearby the mining site.
- Miners working on the open pit
These miners are doing their best to reach the rich gold ore on this open pit. They are excavating the soil in the hope to reach the hard rock. Pieces of rocks as overburden are found in the clay, silt and soft soil. They contain much gold, even few grams in few pieces of rocks. The mining site was not managed by our company at the time when this picture was taken.
- The path to the open pit is blocked with the excavated soil
Due to the lack of planning of excavation and movement of material, the path to the open pit is blocked with the excavated soil. For any long term business it is advisable that mining engineers properly plan the excavating activities. This mining site is not or was not managed by our company at the time of making this picture.
- Work on the open pit
Some rich gold ore have been found in this open pit. Miners are doing their best to reach the reef. Overburden rocks are found and identified being very rich in gold. This mining site is no organized by our company. We are organizing the processing of the tailings on nearest location.

Read the wordings for yourself and make your own conclusions.
- Impact mills and accessories
Impact mills are often used in mining and prospecting. Rock may be quickly crushed and gold particles separated. There exists various types of impact mills such as hammer or chain impact mills. In rural locations of Tanzania and Uganda we are constructing such impact mills on the ground, as they seem to be the best firsthand solutions. Only few parts such as flanged bearings are ordered from outside of the country or purchased somewhere in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania or in Mombasa, Kenya. We carefully note all the locations where any machine parts may be purchased. Towns in rural areas do not have metal supply so we are looking for parts at scrap metal yards.
- Possible source for a drum
Such gas bottle can be cut in pieces and 2 drums could be made out of the cylinder. Yet the metal wall is not as thick as we would like it. We do not know if it is worth trying for US $19.22 how much the scrap dealer asked us that day, or approximately 70,000 Ugs.
- Not a choice for this drum
This piece of metal scrap was used in some other historical machine. The idea was to convert it to the drum for our impact mill, yet it would not work as this metal is not good for welding purposes.
- Possible drums for the impact mill
This is a possible drum for the impact mill. We are reviewing scrap metal supplies as no other source of metal is available nearby. Local welders cannot bend the metal properly.
- Wooden goat
This is wooden goat. That is how it is named everywhere in Balkan area in Europe. Over here almost nobody knows that such improvized wooden legs may be used in construction and mining activities.
- Ugandan bicycle transport
The Ugandan bicycle transport is very interesting. Almost everything may be transported by bicycles, including coffins, goats, pigs, 20 meter long heavy wires, large wooden sheets, beds, Coca-Cola boxes, and 20-30 plastic chairs. Just anything goes for 500 to 2,000 Ugs. per round.

- Mr. Jean Louis prospecting on the open pit
I was teaching miners how to use "Testio" which is Swahili word from Tanzania for the small black metallic gold pan that Tanzanian artisanal miners use to prospect for gold in rocks. Sadly that technology is not known in this part of Uganda. Miners did learn something, and need more training to start implementing the methods properly. They were advised to use the mortar and pestle and frequently check for gold in various rocks and the soil excavated.
- Crushing rocks with hammer on a metallic surface
The alternative to mortar and pestle is a simple hammer and metallic or other hard surface such as rock. Care must be taken to wash all the tools and the rocks before attempting to check the existence of the gold inside. That way, the salting with other gold particles and mercury is avoided.
- Mr. Louis using the mortar and pestle
Mortar and pestle are basic miners' tools for gold prospecting in rocks. All tools must be carefully washed before attempting to prospect for gold. The mortar, pestle, basins, gold pans, including the rocks being crushed, those all must be washed to prevent salting with mercury or previous gold particles. This mortar and pestle are too large and may be used in small gold production where crushers are not available. Smaller mortar and pestle are recommended including a simple hammer on a hard surface.
- Crushing rocks while prospecting for gold
Rocks are being crushed while prospecting for gold. Metallic surface may be used or other larger rock surfaces. Care shall be taken to carefully wash the surface, the hammer, including the rocks to be crushed and basin and gold pans so to avoid the salting with previous gold particles. Artisanal miners in this area were of the opinion that rocks need to be dried before crushing, that is not true, and with the care you may crush even quartz without rocks flying everywhere around.

- Crushing gold particles on the metallic surface
Gold particles are being crushed with the hammer on the metallic surface. Both the surface and the hammer, including any water basins and gold pans shall be thoroughly washed before making a check and before crushing so to avoid salting of previous gold particles into the new rocks.
- Using hand lens to magnify the gold particles
When prospecting for gold, one need to use the magnifier to see the smallest particles invisible to human eye. And yes, we found gold in rocks. Not only gold, we also have found other silver colored metal that we could not identify on the field. It could be iridium, unlikely pure silver, it could be silver colored gold. We will send the particles for analysis to other country.
- Crushing the rocks with mortar and pestle
This is the method to crush the rocks with mortar and pestle. This is larger version suitable to handle several rocks at once. It is advisable to first classify the mineral sizes with the sifter or sieve and then to gold pan the particles. Further, before any crushing, both the mortar and pestle, gold pans and any basins must be carefully washed so to avoid salting.
- Mr. Louis showing rocks before crushing it with the mortar and pestle
This is Mr. Louis showing a rock before crushing it with the mortar and pestle that he is holding in his hands.
- Mr. Louis showing the crushed rocks in the basin
The crushed rocks are transferred to the basin and later panned for gold and other precious metals. There was a problem that miners did not wash this basin, so it contained small particles including small mercury particles. They were advised to wash the basin, the mortar and pestle and any gold pans before making a check for gold.
- Mortar and pestle is miners' basic tool
Mortar and pestle is the basic tool in mining. The method is known since centuries. Yet this larger mortar and pestle are also used for production of gold over here whenever miners do not have better method to crush and grind the rocks. It is not recommended for quick checks of rocks due to its weight and unsafe handling.
- Gold prospecting on the open pit
Artisanal miners and Mr. Louis are prospecting for gold on this open pit. Water splash may be seen that is coming from the water pump which priming cover was opened for some reason. The pressure from the raised hose is bringing water to come out of the pump down-there. Very rich gold ore has been found little deeper in this open pit.
- Water source for tailing processing
Any water source may be used for processing of the tailings. Such is this entrance to the nearest river where branch of water was excavated so that distance is shortened. Water pumps work better on shorter distances.
- Kete-kete or stealing of the ore in Uganda
Local artisanal miners at least in this area have some bad habits of stealing ores and tailings from mining site owners. They are named kete-kete. It is advised never to steal ores from a fellow miner and to enter joint ventures and partnerships. Working together is much better than having bad blood between each other.
- Mr. Louis advising the mining site owner about gold panning methods
The mining site owner is being advised about proper gold panning methods. Knowledge is free and application of the knowledge is producing results. As on this day we have found other precious metal in the rocks available on this mining site. The type and value of the metal yet has to be identified.
- With mud covered foot
Obviously the soil looks like a German milk chocolate.
- Mr. Jean Louis prospecting on the open pit
I was teaching miners how to use "Testio" which is Swahili word from Tanzania for the small black metallic gold pan that Tanzanian artisanal miners use to prospect for gold in rocks. Sadly that technology is not known in this part of Uganda. Miners did learn something, and need more training to start implementing the methods properly. They were advised to use the mortar and pestle and frequently check for gold in various rocks and the soil excavated.
- Prospecting for gold on the open pit
On this day at least 10 people were working and prospecting for gold on this open pit. Difficulties are numerous. Very rich gold ore is down there not far from those miners on the picture. Such rich gold ore contains several grams of gold in just few handful of rocks. There are reasons why people are after it.
- The priming cover on the water pump
This is the priming cover on the water pump. It comes in plastic and metalic version. Often it is lost or stolen on mining sites. Without it, the pump is not going to work, or with improvized covers such as sticks, pump may easily get broken or damaged. To find the replacement cover one needs to order it from Kampala for some 10,000 Ugs. or US $2.75.
- Diesel and benzin prices in Uganda on 3rd December 2017
The diesel price on 3rd December 2017 was 3000 Ugandan schillings or US $0.82 per liter, while benzin price was 3550 Ugs. or US $0.97 per liter.

- Bianco Pumpz water pump, model BIA-INOX120PC, 5-50 liter per minute
This is 5-50 liters per minute water pump. That is too low pressure, we need more water so that material we are processing is thoroughly liquefied and that gold particles may pass down fully liberated.
- Bianco Pumpz water pump, model BIA-INOX120PC with 5-50 liters per minute
This is Bianco Pumpz water pump, we are watching the specifications before purchasing. This one is supposed to supply from 5 to 50 liters per minute with 3.5 Amperes consumption and 1.6 horse powers. We did not buy it.
- Stronger hoses for the water pump
These hoses may be used for better supply of water to the sluices. When hose is too soft it tends to get broken, repairs are expensive and holes too often especially in a thorns rich vegetation. That is why using better hoses is recommended. On longer distances the type of the hose and its inner resistance also influence the supply and pressure of the water.
- The choice of pumps in Busia, Uganda
The town simply lacks the supply of any water pumps. Hard to find. Nearest shops are in Jinja, the source of the river Nile or Kampala. Pumps as shown on this picture are used, and do not even function. Buying them is liability.

- Prospecting for gold in rocks
Prospecting for gold in rocks is a basic method and shall be foundation for every prospector. Some of gold prospectors are focusing only on alluvial and liberated gold and forget that such may be coming from rocks. And often rocks contain richer gold grade then alluvial soil. There are few simple and practical methods for prospecting for gold in rocks. In this category of Start Your Own Gold Mine, we are explaining methods and showing you videos on how to prospect for gold in rocks.

We call this mercury retort SYOGM EA UG II, representing the Start Your Own Gold Mine program in East Africa,…
- DC switch to turn on the bilge pumps
Often prospectors and gold miners are confused how to concentrate the concentrate. Or better said how to make the super concentrate. It is only by process of concentration that gold is recoverered. Multiple steps of concentration may require different methods of handling. Often it is useful to have a bilge pump of 600 gallons or 2271 liters per hour. Such pump may be perfectly enough to process 500 to 1000 kilograms of dry or wet ore in an hour. To start the pump you need a switch. I am placing this…

A gold nugget on the author's finger is a small piece of precious metal found in nature. It can have various shapes depending on its origin, with eluvial or placer sources leading to different angles based on distance traveled through erosion and natural processes like weathering over time. On the other hand, if it was discovered during an alluvial deposit where gold nuggets are more oval-shaped due to their long journey carried by water currents. This means they have been moved further away from its original source location after being extracted thousands of years ago.

- Melting furnace for gold
A melting furnace is used to melt 1 kilograms worth of gold in an hour, requiring specialized equipment and precise control over heat levels for extraction from raw materials at mining sites where valuable resources like precious metals are extracted under controlled conditions. The process involves several steps which necessitate the use of a suitable heating source that can maintain high temperatures while preventing accidents due to its hazardous nature as it deals with gold's extremely hot state during melting, hence requiring safety gear and expertise for safe handling and shaping in their pure form after solidification into liquid metal or alloy forms through precise control over heat levels.
- Melting of gold
Laurence melts valuable pieces of gold metal into molten form using a specialized heating device called his 'melting furnace', which allows him to separate and purify pure gold from other metals like iron or black sand through the use of boric acid flux. By doing so, he ensures that only high-quality gold remains after cooling down and solidifying in an electric melting furnace with controlled conditions provided by the specialized heating device.

- The improvized field retort for mercury recovery
This is improvized field retort for mercury recovery. It may be made of the pipe reduction connector, the cover and piece of the pipe. The side shall be sealed by soil so that no fumes of mercury may come out during burning. The other part or the output of the pipe shall be immersed into the water cup where all the mercury is to be disposed. Without water it would get the chance to evaporate into the air. Mercury is dangerous substance that may cause cancer and other diseases. It pollutes human body,…
- Field retort before pipe bending
This is improvized field retort for mercury recovery. It may be made of the pipe reduction connector, the cover and piece of the pipe. This is before bending of the pipe. Mercury is dangerous substance that may cause cancer and other diseases. It pollutes human body, animals, plants, water source and environment. In our mining program Start Your Own Gold Mine we are not using mercury but recovering it when necessary and teaching miners how to implement mercury free methods.
- Mercury Free Gold Recovery Methods
In this category we are explaining mercury free gold recovery methods including methods for disposal and recovery of mercury when founds in the gold bearing ore, gold concentrate or tailings. Mercury is dangerous substance that may cause cancer and other diseases. It pollutes human body, animals, plants, water source and environment.

- Measuring the screen sheets to make one out of the two
They are measuring two sheets in order to make one. The screens are connected so that they may be taken apart again depending of the needs or other sluices we may build locally. The screen size of 1/8" have been selected with the purpose to handle tailing heaps around the mining sites.
- Straightening the metal screens
Here the boys are straightening the metal screen with 1/8" opening. We are using the material we have on hand. Even if I would like to buy the full sheet with such screen size, those are non existent in the area. We have imported the screens from other countries. The keey to proper gold ore washing is screening or classification of material. Having evenly distributed sizes of particles in the sluice is bringing the best results.
- Rubber strings for gold washing sluice
Rubber strings may be used to support the gold washing sluice to make the operation static. Instead, metal clamps may be used, by they were not obtainable in the city.

- Rubber strings for static operation
Rubber strings may be used instead of clamps to make the operation of a gold washing sluice static and firm. Rubber strings may hold sluices on wooden boards and allow all the parts to be assembled and disassembled in just few minutes.
- Plumbing parts and glue
The plumbing parts and glue are purchased to create the spraying pipes that wash the material that is to be processed after showering. In general, the quantity of material being washed shall not be more than 30% in relation to the water quantity being sprayed. Thus an average gasoline pump that may bring even 80 cubic meter of water per hour may process 20 to 30 cubic meters of material which is usually equivalent to more than 20 or more than 30 cubic meter of sand or powdered material. Thus such…
- Wooden boards purchased for gold washing sluices
These wooden boards were purchased for gold washing sluices in Uganda. They are used to create supporting construction for the gold recovery plant.

This is locally made mortar and pestle for rock crushing. It is very well made and usable for field assaying.
- Heaps of tailing in background
In Uganda’s vibrant mining landscape, numerous tailing heaps stand as remnants of past gold extraction efforts. These heaps, often visible in the background of mining sites, represent the waste material left after the initial gold recovery processes. However, recent assessments suggest that these tailings may still harbor significant quantities of gold that were never fully extracted.
- Heaps of tailing in background
There are numerous visible heaps of tailings in the background.
- Always use same quantity of material for field assaying
When doing field assaying and you wish to get a quantitative analysis of gold it is necessary to always use the same quantity of material. If you check one time smaller quantity and other time larger quantity and wish to assay gold in some ore dump or tailing heap, you will simply start making mistakes. Number of colors in a gold pan shall be always compared to other numbers while using the same quantity of material.
- Children in background of Mr. Louis showing quantity of material in the gold pan
These children are resting on the mercury polluted heap of tailing while Mr. Louis is showing the always one and same quantity of material that has to be used in the field assaying.

Only one and same quantity of material shall be used for field assaying so that proper estimates of gold quantity in the full material may take place.
- Another same quantity of material must be used for field assaying
Always use the same quantity of material when assaying the gold content. You should not use one time more and next time less of the material quantity. This material is not meant for panning by using the gold pan in which it is contained. The gold pan is used just to measure the quantity of material so to be even and same each time.
- Always the same quantity of material is used for field assaying
Always the same quantity of material must be used for field assaying in the Start Your Own Gold Mine program. On the left one may see the Garrett Prospecting Gold Pan full with the material of tailing. On the right side one may see the basin that is used to process the material and determine the gold content.
- Gold recovered by dangerous substance mercury
This gold of 0.58 grams was recovered by dangerous poisonous mercury on the mining site. The whole process was done by children. We do not approve of children working on the mining site. Especially we do not approve of the mercury usage that may cause cancer and other diseases to these children. We are devising the plan for the improvement of this mining site.
- 0.58 grams of gold on the balance
This is 0.58 grams of gold on the pocket scale.
- 0.58 grams of gold obtained by children after processing with mercury
This is 0.58 grams of gold obtained by children after processing with mercury. Mercury have been burnt into the air. The air is polluted. Children are in constant contact with mercury. This is the condition we have found. We are to improve this condition by talks, descriptions and awareness about the dangers of mercury and also about the methods on how to recover gold without it.
- Gas heater for burning of mercury into the air, pollution everywhere
This gas heater is used to burn the mercury so that it evaporates directly into the air. As soon as we take over this location, on this ground and area of the land we will forbid burning of the mercury and usage of the mercury. All processing and final gold recovery may be done without mercury. Gold concentrates may be dried, it may be nicely separated from black sand, and gold may be measured on the balance scale without using a single drop of mercury. The other problem is that material is already…

This is gold. It has been slightly amalgamated with mercury, thus there is silver color. Children were washing just few basins of material after crushing and obtained more than 0.50 grams in total.
- Children playing and working on the mercury polluted mining site in Uganda
These children are working and playing on the mercury polluted mining site. My findings and inspection of the tailing told me that all those heaps of tailing and ore are polluted by mercury. I was surprised as I did not find that much mercury in Tanzania on similar mining places. Children work on the dangerous sluice and are in constant bodily contact with the poisonous and dangeours substance of mercury.
- Children in background of Mr. Louis showing quantity of material in the gold pan
These children are resting on the mercury polluted heap of tailing while Mr. Louis is showing the always one and same quantity of material that has to be used in the field assaying.
- Children washing on the mining site, Mr. Louis attempting to advise them
These children are washing material on the mining site. Material is completely polluted with mercury. The work on this sluice is dangerous and heavy. First one may fall down or cut oneself badly. Second the screens used to preclassify material are not efficient. Third the gold recovery is just partial.

- Child trying to recover all particles of gold from concentrates
This child on the mining site in Uganda is trying to recover all concentrate particles by using plain hands. The task is impossible. The pond itself is broken and gold is simply depositing on its bottom, it is impossible to take smallest gold particles by using simple hands.
- Incorrect process of handling gold
The process of handling gold at this site is totally incorrect. To capture small gold particles these boys are using the blue and red carpets and large bags. Instead that those carpets and bags are washing in a basin they are washing it in a broken pond. From there on, the material is transferred by hands into the basin! A lot of gold is then lost on the bottom of the pond. We are going to suck it all with our dredge equipment. And these children will be forbidden to access the mining site.
- These children are washing mercury polluted ores on the mining site in Uganda
These young boys of 10-16 years are washing mercury polluted material on this mining site in Uganda. I do not like this. They did obtain 0.58 grams of gold that day. However, children shall not be working on the mining site and they shall not be exposed to the dangerous substance - mercury. From this day on, I will try to show them better methods of gold recovery.
- Child in a mercury polluted pond of water
I do hate when I see this, but whatever I would do, either advice parents or tell to the license holder to refrain of allowing children to the mining site, these parents or mother with the child would just change the location to the other mercury polluted pond. What one can see here is that mother is bringing ores for processing on this place, they are crushing ores and then recovering gold by using mercury. Too many people pour mercury in this pond shown on this picture. Their children often help…
- Mining site ID 281 in our database
This is the mining site ID 281 in our database that we were assessing and inspecting and one of example of how Start Your Own Gold Mine program may quickly bring about the production of gold within 45 days. The mining site have three types of discovered gold bearing material, the overburden soil with eluvial gold particles, the rich gold ore with visible nuggets in quartz and tailings.
- Artisanal Mining in Ghana
Ghana has a very developed artisanal mining. What is commendable is that many of miners know how to separate gold without using mercury. They are gold panning the concentrates by using traditional pots or bowls made of wood or other materials. Often miners work in teams and become very efficient. Their gold washing sluices are for one century of development better than those what may be found in East Africa.

- Misguided Local Miners Rely on Harmful Mercury for Gold Extraction
These local miners in Uganda are naively believing that mercury is the only way to extract and recovery gold from concentrates. We do not advise using mercury in gold recovery and will refuse to do so. All miners are advised to stop using mercury immediately. Mercury is dangerous poison and is polluting environment, the water which is drunk by children, people and cattle. Mercury poison is then traveling to plants, fruits, vegetables, to fish, and trees. People are getting cancer and other dangerous…
- Miners with the mercury sponge ball
This miner is showing his "result", the large mercury ball with several grams of gold. We do not advise using mercury in gold recovery and will refuse to do so. All miners are advised to stop using mercury immediately. Mercury is dangerous poison and is polluting environment, the water which is drunk by children, people and cattle. Mercury poison is then traveling to plants, fruits, vegetables, to fish, and trees. People are getting cancer and other dangerous diseases from mercury.
- Amalgam of gold with mercury
This is not quite the "amalgam" because this gold was not quite nicely melted with mercury. It is better say "connected" to mercury. We do not advise using mercury in gold recovery and will refuse to do so. All miners are advised to stop using mercury immediately. Mercury is dangerous poison and is polluting environment, the water which is drunk by children, people and cattle. Mercury poison is then traveling to plants, fruits, vegetables, to fish, and trees. People are getting cancer and other dangerous…
- Gold amalgamated with mercury
This is picture of gold amalgamated with mercury. This is exceptional good result for the local miners. We do not endorse any of the mercury recovery methods. Mercury is a danger and liability for environment, animals, plants, and people. It may cause cancer and other dangerous diseases. It cannot collect all the gold out of the concentrates and it is expensive. We are advising miners how to recover gold without using mercury. Mercury free methods of gold recovery are used all over the North Americas…

- EQV Formula - Example Evaluation of Future Gold Production
Any present gold production may be improved by using the EQV Formula for gold production as devised by Mr. Jean Louis. Be it a large scale mining, small scale mining or artisanal mining, or recreational gold prospecting, just any type of gold recovery may be improved by observing simple factors such as Equipment, Quality and Volume that relate to gold production. In this article we are reviewing the real world example on an artisanal mining site in Tanzania, where certain equipment and expenses have been proposed that are contradictory to itself and its own capacities, and that would become nothing but liability, instead of an income bringing asset. - I'm interested in mining my own gold mine. Let me know the process.
MOST IMPORTANT IN GOLD MINING: Please keep in mind, that MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN GOLD MINING is the availability of GOLD BEARING ORES. Do not focus on exploration, prospecting, if you can focus immediately on the gold bearing ores. You want a gold mining business that creates income for you. You do not want a long-term exploration, and searching for gold, when gold bearing ores have already been found. My business is to help you to COME STRAIGHT to gold bearing ores. - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on How to Start Your Own Gold Mine

Small scale mining without mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology simply does not function well. Same is with software. Repetitive tasks and calculations, estimates and the EQV Formula for gold production demands the usage of programming languages and specific software tools.
- Practical application of the EQV Gold Production formula
Here are few practical examples of the EQV Gold Production and how our company is using it to assess the present mining operation and to predict our investment and the future gold mining production. The formula is simple and applies to small scale mining of gold and may apply to other types of minerals as well. The full and expanded EQV formula relates not only to the production of gold but to the income of gold mining production, operational expenses and other expenses. Every small scale mining company may increase and improve their outputs by observing the factors that are most important and relate to each other, the present and future Equipment and its capacity and usage, the Quality of ores, gold and processing and the Volume of ores being excavated and processed.

- Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract by Start Your Own Gold Mine
Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract as provided by company Start Your Own Gold Mine is a good way of financing mining production where the buyer of gold may obtain the asset with 20 to 30% discount, and the producer obtains the new mining equipment and machinery and thus enlarges the production capacities. Details are specified on this page.
- Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract
The Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract is a contract between two parties to deliver the gold in the future for prepaid payment and at a price agreed upon the time of the contract. The Tanzanian mining company Start Your Own Gold Mine agrees to deliver gold bullion or raw gold at some time in the future in return for the agreement and payment from the other party. The mininig and production of such gold is thus being financed by the buyer of gold bars for the mutual win win situation.
- How providing benefits to the producers of gold brings benefits back to gold buyers
Providing benefits to producers of gold, such as prepaid forward contracts for gold purchase with fixed prices and sometimes with discounts, finances the producers and gives the producer the incentives to sell the gold to such gold buyers. Investment into small scale mining companies may bring equivalent investment such as those with larger mining companies. Providing equipment, excavators, bulldozers, trucks, containers, hydraulic hammers, winches, all that brings benefits to mining companies who have the gold bearing ores, the administration in place and proper technology to deliver the results.

- Glossary
Glossary of mining terms used in the book The A.B.C. of Mining, it is alphabetical list of technical terms in some specialized field of knowledge; usually published as an appendix to a text on that field.
- Odds and Ends
A miner's inch of water varies in different States, and is, therefore, not a fixed quantity. In some States it means the quantity of water that will flow through an orifice one inch square on the bottom or side of a box under a pressure of four inches. Under these conditions a miner's inch will discharge 2259 cubic feet, or 17,648 gallons every twenty-four hours, which is at the rate of 12 gallons a minute.
- Atomic Weights
The atomic weight of a mineral is the proportion in which its elements are united, i.e., they represent the weights of the different atoms in the minerals. Hydrogen, being lightest, is made the unit.
- Dynamite
Dynamite should be stored in a magazine which must be dry, cool, and well ventilated. Bricks are best, but when built of wood, the frame should be covered inside and out with boards allowing the air to have free circulation between the walls, so that the inner wall may not be heated by the sun.
- Medical Hints
Miners as a rule are a healthy, hardy lot of men, but nevertheless they are occasionally taken ill, and there is very seldom a doctor near at hand. Moreover, by the very nature of their work they are particularly liable to accidents. The so-called miner's consumption is caused by want of fresh air. The miner passes most of his life in places where there is a great deficiency of oxygen. Deep down in the mine the air is usually very bad, being full of smoke and damp, and the hut in which he sleeps is too often overcrowded, while the places in which he seeks his amusement, should he live in a mining camp, are usually little better.
- Floating a Company
Should the prospector discover mineral that increases in amount as the mine is opened, and shows that it is likely to prove a profitable deposit, he will have little difficulty in selling out to some wealthy syndicate. But if his mine is likely to become a big producer he should try rather to organize a company, of which he should be a shareholder--the controlling one if possible--as then the output of the mine will probably make him a rich man. It is rare that a prospector selling outright obtains anything but a fraction of the value of a good mine.
- Surveying
A man, to make a success of prospecting, must have what is known as "a good eye for a country." Given that faculty he will readily pick up the little knowledge of surveying that is sometimes almost indispensable. A tape measure, and a prismatic or surveying compass, are all that he is likely to require in laying off to his own satisfaction the extent of his claim, or any similar simple operation. The surveying compass has two fixed sights, and a Jacob staff mounting, into which a wooden support is inserted. The north end of the compass is always pointed ahead, while the needle, which of course indicates the magnetic north, gives the bearing of the line run toward that north.
- Camp Life
The Indian truthfully observes: "White man make heap big fire; keep far off. Indian make little fire; get close. All same." The small fire does best in the circular tepee tent, made of canvas or leather, in use on the plains. The tepee is quite an institution, but it is generally as full of smoke as a kitchen chimney, and for that reason cannot truthfully be recommended. In theory, the smoke should all pass out of the opening in the top.
- Mining
Although the scope of this work does not include the very complex problem involved in the working of a great mine, prospecting and the simpler mining operations are so intimately connected that it would not be desirable to make mention of the one and ignore the other, because the prospector must perforce become a miner as soon as he discovers mineral, even though his operations should not go beyond a shallow trial shaft.
- Economic Ores and Minerals
Aluminum is derived from two ores, cryolite and bauxite. This metal has made rapid strides into favor during the past half-dozen years. Although known since 1827, it remained a rare substance in the metallic form, though it is the most abundant of any of the metals in its ore. In ordinary clay there is an inexhaustible source of aluminum. But the ores that yield the metal cheaply are few. Until recently, cryolite, found abundantly in Greenland, was the chief source of the metal, but now bauxite is used in its place.
- Blow-Pipe Tests
As a means of readily detecting the presence of minerals in their ores the blow-pipe, in the hands of a skillful operator, is unrivaled. Nor is this skill at all hard to come by; two or three weeks' patient study under a good master should teach a great deal, and subsequently proficiency would come by practice in the field. Unfortunately, some very clever men have become so enthusiastic as to blow-pipe work that they have devised methods by which the amount of metal in an ore as well as its nature may be determined, but in so doing have so enlarged the amount of apparatus, and complicated the tests so seriously that the simplicity of the blow-pipe outfit is in danger of being lost, and its chief advantage of being forgotten.
- How to test for minerals
When silver must be separated from gold, it is sometimes convenient to increase its proportion by the addition of some known weight of the inferior metal. After fusing, the globule is placed in nitric acid, and the silver parted from the gold, which may then be weighed. This result subtracted from the weight of the original globule gives the amount of silver.
- Prospecting
A few simple tools and a not very deep knowledge of assaying, with an observant eye and a brain quick to deduce inferences from what that eye has seen, are the most valuable assets of a prospector. In time he will gain experience, and experience will teach him much that he could not learn in any college nor from any book. Each mining district differs from every other, and it has been found that certain rules which hold good in one region, and guide the seeker after wealth to the hidden treasure that has been stored up for eons of time, do not apply in another region.

- How businessmen take the natural risks of mining
There are unavoidable risks of mining itself, which may, at any moment during the year lost, call for increased expenses and increased faith in ultimate success. To the mining man who makes money by the business, the natural risks of mining is all he will take; it is sufficient; and when he invests more money in machinery he takes good care that he takes no chances of either failure or delay.

- Mining Appliances and Methods a Temporary Forge
What prospector has not at times been troubled for the want of a forge? To steel or harden a pick or sharpen a drill is comparatively easy, but there is often a difficulty in getting a forge. Big single action bellows are sometimes bought at great expense, and some ingenious fellows have made an imitation of the blacksmith's bellows by means of sheepskins and rough boards.
- Rules of Thumb
This chapter has been headed as above because a number of the rules and recipes given are simply practical expedients, not too closely scientific. My endeavour has been to supply practical and useful information in language as free from technicalities as possible, so as to adapt it to the ordinary miner, mill operator and prospector, many of whom have had no scientific training.
- Company Formation and Operations
All the world over, the operation of winning from the soil and rendering marketable the many valuable ores and mine products which abound is daily becoming more and more a scientific business which cannot be too carefully entered into or too skilfully conducted. The days of the dolly and windlass, of the puddler, cradle, and tin dish, are rapidly receding; and mining, either in lode or alluvial working, is being more generally recognised as one of the exact sciences.
- Motor Power and Its Transmition
It is unnecessary to describe methods by which power for mining purposes has been obtained—that is, up to within the last five years—beyond a general statement, that when water power has been available in the immediate locality of the mine, this cheap natural source of power has been called upon to do duty. Steam has been the alternative agent of power production applied in many different ways, but labouring under as many disadvantages, chief of which are lack of water, scarcity of fuel and cost of transit of machinery.
- Calcination or Roasting of Ores
The object of calcining or roasting certain ores before treatment is to dissipate the sulphur or sulphides of arsenic, antimony, lead, etc., which are inimical to treatment, whether by ordinary mercuric amalgamation or lixiviation. The effect of the roasting is first to sublimate and drive off as fumes the sulphur and a proportion of the objectionable metals. What is left is either iron oxide, "gossan," or the oxides of the other metals.
- Gold Extraction - Secondary Processes and Lixiviation
Before any plan is adopted for treating the ore in a new mine the management should very seriously and carefully consider the whole circumstances of the case, taking into account the quantity and quality of the lode stuff to be operated on, and ascertain by analysis what are its component parts, for, as before stated, the treatment which will yield most satisfactory results with a certain class of gangue on one mine will sometimes, even when the material is apparently similar, prove a disastrous failure in another.
- Gold Extraction
We now come to a highly important part of our subject, the practical treatment of ores and matrixes for the extraction of the metals contained. The methods employed are multitudinous, but may be divided into four classes, namely, washing, amalgamating with mercury, chlorinating, cyaniding and other leaching processes, and smelting.
- Gold Prospecting - Auriferous Drifts
Having considered the origin of auriferous lodes, and the mode by which in all probability the gold was conveyed to them and deposited as a metal, it is necessary also to inquire into the derivation of the gold of our auriferous drifts, and the reasons for its occurrence therein.
- Genesiology of Gold - Auriferous Lodes
Among the theories which they discredit is that ore bodies may usually be assumed to become richer in depth. As applied to gold lodes the teaching of experience does not bear out this view.
- Lode or Reef Prospecting
In searching for payable lodes, whether of gold, silver, copper, or even tin in some forms of occurrence, the indications are often very similar. The first prospecting is usually done on the hilltops or ridges, because, owing to denudation by ice or water which have bared the bedrock, the outcrops are there more exposed, and thence the lodes are followed down through the alluvial covered plains, partly by their "strike" or "trend," and sometimes by other indicating evidences, which the practical miner has learned to know.
- Gold Prospecting - Alluvial and General
Much disappointment and loss of time and money may sometimes be prevented if prospectors will realise that *all* alluvial gold does not come from the quartz veins or reefs; and that following up an alluvial lead, no matter how rich, will not inevitably develop a payable gold lode.
- Introduction to Gold
GOLD is a name to charm by. It is desired by all nations, and is the one metal the supply of which never exceeds the demand. Some one has aptly said, "Gold is the most potent substance on the surface of our planet."
- Getting Gold, by J.C.F. Johnson, F.G.S.
Getting Gold, as written by J.C.F. Johnson, F.G.S., is the prepared from a 1898 edition. The gold-mining industry has grown considerably since 1891, and it appeared to the writer that the present would be a propitious time to bring out a similar work, but with a considerably enlarged scope. What has been aimed at is to make "Getting Gold" a compendium, in specially concrete form, of useful information respecting the processes of winning from the soil and the after-treatment of gold and gold ores, including some original practical discoveries by the author.
- How we help gold mining license and land owners
Our company helps the owners of gold mining lands and licenses, concessions, to obtain a mining startup. We provide integrated approach to start in gold mining either by joint ventures with our company or one of our clients. Mining land and license owners receive free services such as preliminary site inspection, matrix gold prospecting, geological reports, mining land valuations and gold mining startups. The final result is monthly and annnually income from gold mining profits.
- Miscellaneous Considerations
There are regions producing ores that are too refractory for the simple treatments that might be given by company plants located at the mines. There are districts that have many small gold and silver mines with ores that do not yield to simple milling processes and which must therefore be shipped to custom smelteries. Even were the ores amenable to milling of some sort, it is often the case that the mines are not of sufficient magnitude to warrant the maintenance of their own treatment plants.
- The Men of the Future in Mining
The mining of the future will probably be largely in the hands of young men. To arrive at any conclusions concerning the probabilities of success, therefore, we are obliged to recognize the dual conditions. In other words, there is to be an interdependence between men and mining. Up to this point in our discussion, we have dwelt upon the probabilities as viewed from the standpoints of natural resources and of human capability. In a certain degree, we have already covered the ground of this present chapter; and yet there are some points that must be given special consideration.
- Investment in Mining Stocks
As a feature of investment in mining stocks, there has always been a more or less open lure. Generally much larger returns are promised or are expected than in other kinds of investments. There may be absolutely no intention on the part of the seller to create this impression; but there does, somehow, exist in the memories of people accounts of wonderful fortunes that have been made in mining.
- Mine Accounting
While there has been a great deal of attention given to the matter of keeping systematic mine accounts, both in the main offices and those at the works, there still is a lack of uniformity in practice. In the bookkeeping of manufacturing and mercantile institutions, uniform practices or systems have become a feature. But there have been good reasons for the absence of similar methods in mine offices.
- Prices of Metals
There is only one product of mines that has a constant market value, viz., gold. The precious metals, gold, silver, and platinum, are sold by the Troy ounce: the base metals are all handled and dealt with on avoirdupois weights. Copper, lead, zinc, tin, and nickel are quoted in cents per pound avoirdupois. Iron and manganese are curiously sold by mines to smelting companies on the ton of ore basis.
- Mine Equipments
There is a constant tendency toward the adoption of machinery for the performance of every mining act which, formerly, was done by manual or animal labor. There are good reasons for this tendency. Good, trained labor is scarce; wages are slowly but gradually rising; ores of lower grade must be mined, and the tonnages must be correspondingly greater. The increased economy in production can be brought about by the adoption of devices that will supplant, and even excel, muscular effort.
- Mining Investments
One should be able to establish, in his mind, a distinction between the value of investments in operating mines and in prospective mines; and he should likewise be competent to fix some difference in his attitude when purchasing the stocks in these dissimilar projects. One should invest in an established mine with the same business precautions that would guide him in buying an interest in a mercantile establishment.
- Incorporation and Capitalization
Let us consider the legitimate financing of a new or a reorganized, worthy, mining proposition. It is the universal custom to own and work a mine under the laws that govern a corporation and, for this reason, the mining man of the day is familiar with the practices of incorporating.
- The Mine Promoter
With the thought that has justly been given to the place occupied (or that should be occupied) in the world's financial and economic affairs by legitimate mining, there has developed a well-founded stigma upon the operations of a class of persons who have styled themselves by what was formerly considered a worthy title, that of "promoters."
- Valuation of Mining Property
Whenever a piece of mining property is to change hands, it is the proper procedure to employ an expert engineer to investigate the ground and the improvements and so arrive at some estimate concerning its intrinsic value. Nobody is infallible and it is a trite saying that "nobody can see into a mine farther than the last drill hole." But there is a great difference in the reliabilities of reports made by trained and by untrained men.
- The Questions of Depth and Grades of Ore
The prevailing belief of a few years ago that ore bodies always improve with depth has been discredited. Not a single mining geologist will longer maintain such a notion. The evidence of many thousands of mines has refuted this older belief and it has been proven that quite the opposite view is the correct one concerning changes of value with depth. Values, instead of getting better, do actually, in the majority of cases, grow poorer as depth is gained.
- Types of Ore Bodies
Because of the laxity in type differentiation which has prevailed among miners and writers, the same geologists who have framed definitions of ore, have also defined the various types of ore bodies. The definitions, having been accepted by the leading mining geologists and engineers of the present day, it is well for us to fall into line and to agree with the authorities in such matters.
- Mine Openings
In every new mining project, there is much to be considered concerning the expediency of opening up through shafts, inclines or adits. More attention has lately been given to this subject than formerly. There are very good reasons for the selection of any one of these kinds of mine openings.
- The Opening of Mines
The word "exploitation" is used by many mining men and engineers to signify a plan of so opening up ore deposits as to render the contents removable. The same persons use the word "mining" to mean the operations involved in the actual extraction of the ore exploited. It is sometimes difficult to draw any line between the meanings of these two words for, as handled by different men, with varying shades of intention, they are sometimes synonymous.
- The Finding of Mines
Mines are discovered in many ways. One hears much about prospecting, and since this is a practice which is rapidly changing from a mystical to a scientific basis, a few considerations will here be in order.
- Mining's Place in Commerce
It is said that upon two of the world's commercial industries, every other form of activity depends. These two fundamental industries are agriculture and mining. Statisticians prove the above statement and the further fact that these two dissimilar branches of civilization's business are so closely related as to be quite inter-dependent. Strides are made by one of these industries only when advance is noted in the other. While it may not be possible to explain just why this is so, it is worth our attention to consider some brief figures that show this condition of affairs.
- The Antiquity of Mining
Mining is believed to have been one of man's earliest occupations. In historical writings, many of which date back into antiquity, there are allusions, as well as direct statements, concerning the art and tasks of obtaining valuable metals from Mother Earth. We are told that the very ancient Egyptians made common use of metals and that they possessed knowledge of certain metallurgical and metal-working processes.
- Gold Mining Terminology
Gold Mining Terminology is a system of words used to name things in gold mining discipline. It is a doctrine of terms, a treatise on terms, declaring and describing definitions of words related to gold mining.
- What is mining?
Mining is the art or practice of operating mines. Mining is carried on only when ore is being produced. Ore is a natural aggregation of one or more minerals from which useful metal may be profitably extracted. Mines are excavations in the earth from which ore, coal or gems are taken.
- What is a mine?
Before entering into a discussion of the economic features of the mining industry, it will be well to be sure that we understand, definitely, what is meant by mining. As one investigates the question, he is bound to run across varying shades of meaning for the words Mine and Mining, and so we must pause long enough to define these words according to the best usages.

- Selling gold is easy in Tanzania, small scale mining, Geita, Tanzania

About Gold Mining Risks
Gold mining can be a highly subjective business often likened to searching for a needle in a haystack. Even the wealthiest mining companies sometimes experience failure when exploring and extracting gold.
The company Start Your Own Gold Mine offers clients an introductory course and training into small-scale gold mining at modest costs of time and money, yet it is thorough. The program makes efforts to address every conceivable challenge faced by those engaged in this endeavor.
Still, the location of high-concentration gold depends on a variety of factors including:
- Client’s Work Ethic: Diligence and consistent effort.
- Attitude: Positive mindset towards challenges.
- Tenacity: Persistence through difficulties.
- Willingness to Follow Instructions and Heed Consultation
Adhering to all good social and legal norms significantly influences the degree of success a client might achieve. The program provided by Start Your Own Gold Mine plays an important role in this, but ultimately, each participant must recognize that gold mining does not offer absolute guarantees of financial gains or limitless wealth.
Consultants at Start Your Own Gold Mine, as experts with their efforts and resources, provide the best consultation, guidance, and mentoring to help clients achieve reasonable success. However, they cannot offer any absolute assurances regarding outcomes.
Each party involved in this endeavor must accept and acknowledge all inherent associated risks of gold mining.
Gold Mining Startup Assistance Agreement
Client is Assisted in Creating a Shiny New Venture
So, you’re thinking about digging up those golden nuggets and turning your dreams of small-scale gold mining into reality. You’ve come to the right place! We’ll be assisting you every step of the way—no puns needed here.
We’re not just handing over an actual mine; we’ll guide you through everything from setting up operations (and that’s no joke) to making sure your venture shines like a gold coin, ideally considered pure. But remember: this is all about following our guidance closely and cooperating fully!
No Guarantees About Gold or Glory
We can’t promise financial success for your little mining operation—or any failure either! The only thing you need to bank on? Producing (or having produced) three kilograms of gold, ideally pure. That’s the goal we’re shooting for here.
And if you want to ship that golden bounty outta country, watch out—it ain’t a free ride. You might have some export procedures and fees to deal with there too! But hey, no worries—ask us for help; it’s not our job though!
We’re Here To Train And Guide
With years of small-scale mining experience in East Africa (and who knew that place was the gold mine capital? ), we can offer you all sorts of guidance and training. Our goal is to make sure your startup shines as brightly as a gold coin.
If for any reason, life gets busy or you miss our calls-to-action during the program—no problem! We’ll step in on behalf of Client (and that’s not just because it sounds like “clinton”).
Your Success Is In Your Hands
Now here’s where we get real: if you’re not following through with what was outlined, then there might be no guarantee of success. It would be a bit hypocritical for us to promise you gold without your hard work and dedication.
We provide the guidance; it’s up to Client (again, that sounds like “clinton”… sorry about that) whether they want to take our advice or not. We’re here as mentors but ultimately, success is in their hands!
Teamwork Makes The Gold Mine
And just a reminder: we’re not doing this alone! Our team will be providing the guidance and mentorship needed for your small gold mining operation.
