This project involves a classic placer gold deposit with gold-bearing sand layers buried under 0.5m to 1m of overburden. The gold layer thickness varies between 0.6m and 2.5m. The site employs a dry mining approach using excavators and dump trucks to transport raw material to the gold processing plant. Dry mining ensures stable feed control and optimal separation density, which enhances gold grade and recovery rate.
The most mature method for placer gold extraction is gravity separation. This method leverages density differences between metallic gold and gangue minerals. Equipment such as washing drums, centrifugal concentrators, sluice boxes, and shaking tables work in tandem to ensure efficient gold separation. Advantages include long equipment life, low cost, stable performance in all climates, low energy usage, and simple operation.
