One of the issues that prospectors run into when working to upscale from micro-scale hard rock testing to a greater production output, is that they often confuse individual devices or machines with systems.

…the process remains much the same: Drill holes, load explosives, close up the holes, blast and muck out the resulting broken rock.

I pulled out the nuggets I had worked on previously and looked at the size of the wire basket that the items to be cleaned are placed into. It looks much like a miniature french fry deep fryer.

Please note that new mining claims filed on or after September 1, 2019, will be subject to the new fee schedule.
