The Gold Price is Up: time to take advantage gold mining
As of today, the gold price is sitting at $1640 per ounce and is expected to go on the rise, something which is highly probable in today’s uncertain world.
But here is something that is certain; there are abundant resources out there, be they surface rubble or process tailings, that are literally ready to be scooped up. You can also be certain that APT, with it’s lightning-fast reaction time, is ahead of the curve. We have specifically developed a number of products for rapid implementation. But we are as aware as you are that good revenues are one thing, but you still have to put the project together and find the seed capital to get it all started. Two new offerings have been specifically developed, one to treat rubbles and alluvial to recover gold and the other to treat artisanal tailings to recover both free gold as well as entrained amalgam.
The Rubble system is based upon our infamous RG scrubber range and is titled the RG-B. This hardy workhorse has been combined with APT’s very own high centrifugal concentrator, the GK-X. As with all APT plants, this scrubber is a total in-house offering. As such, we have been able to trim down the design and the price with a 15-20tph plant coming in at less than US$150 000! At around US$7000 per tonne per hour capex, this is probably the lowest process establishment cost out there today, and at around US$2 per tonne the opex cost is definitely amongst the lowest possible. There is also a smaller version of the rubble plant available in the 6-10 tonne per hour range which hosts the same benefits, including short lead times and speedy on-site manufacture and commissioning.
The 10-15 tph tailings treatment system offers a simple ready solution to the huge resource of tailings that the Artisanals have left behind. These tailings have already been ground and require simple slurrying and the removal of the odd errant oversize like bricks etc. The Tailings Plant slurries the loose material ahead of feeding to the same high efficiency GK-X concentrator, simple yet effective and devoid of moving parts other than the concentrator itself. The plant is compact and easy to translocate from place to place. At less than US$40 000 for this system the capex per tonne per hour is less than US$3 pet tonne, and opex is likewise extremely trim.
Both systems are available on extremely short delivery basis, ready for you to take advantage fast.
