Method of gold mining depends a lot on where exactly it is located. In most cases, prospectors looking for gold on the banks of rivers and streams, as water availability is a prerequisite for its effective separation from the gangue.

Before washing the miners first looking for a plot with a fairly high gold content – typically a few grams per ton. To do this, the banks are fighting pits to a depth of several meters, excavated from different depth of the rock is washed. If you are able to find the gold, its content has been determined in the breed and the decision about the beginning of production.


Gold mining using a simple wash tray



A simple wash tray is made of wood or metal and externally is a large Cup with a rounded bottom. In artisanal gold mining often shown as a gold miner scoops gold-bearing sand tray and washed in the water of a stream or river.

The tray is at a slight slope, on the bottom of stacked ribbed rubber mats. Placed on top of a sheet of iron with a hole in it holes. At him pour the breed and vorotitsya shovel – fines fall through into the tray for washing, and large stones raked from the sheet to the side.

By washing the gold particles linger on the mats, gangue is carried away by the water. After a certain time, usually several hours, the mats are neatly extracted, the gold is going.
