Modern Mining April 2019 Issue: APT thrives in a downturn

Modern Mining April 2019 Issue: APT thrives in a downturn

“Somewhat paradoxically, modular process plant supplier APT (Appropriate Process Technologies) has not only managed to survive the mining downturn of the past several years but has actually thrived, with 2017 and 2018 being its best-performing years ever. The company’s customers are primarily junior, sub-junior and artisanal miners operating in Africa although, increasingly, it is supplying to projects further afield, notably in Europe and South America.” Modern Mining, 2019

Automated & Secure Concentrates System: Introducing Goldilox

goldilox-title--e1499418529613.jpg

APT are proud to announce that we have developed an automated and secure concentrates system as an addition to the 3tph GoldKacha concentrator, known as GoldiloxTM. The secure purge system ensures there is no access to the gold concentrates generated during the run cycle, allowing for safe storage and enabling greater control over what happens during your mine cycle. To see a video of the GoldKacha running, view our video selection here on our website, we will be uploading one for the Goldilox shortly. The GoldKacha operates in a similar way to Goldilox, however the difference is the safe automates and secure concentrates system as described below. concentrates storage system apt  goldilox mining concentrates system

All concentrates are automatically discharged at pre-set intervals into a locked concentrate box sitting beneath the GoldKacha. The security cage and concentrates box are unlocked at end of day and the concentrate box is taken to the gold room for upgrading and smelting. The run time interval is pre-set by the mine operator and is password protected for optimal mine security. GoldiloxTM also logs run time to allow owners and operators to see a record of daily use and total use.

Combined with APT’s alluvial and hard rock plants, small scale miners are now able to run a secure operation on a start-up budget with the peace of mind, knowing gold recovered remains yours and is under your control.

We have listed our mining equipment here on our website but we are continuously developing and do so very quickly, so if you do not see what you are looking for on our website then please do contact us and let us know what you are looking for, we may just have it in production.

APT GoldKacha: example of use in remote regions

We have been asked time and again if the GoldKacha can really be used optimally in remote regions and the answer is always yes! It can, and this has been proven time and again. Pictured here is a GoldKacha processing facility on a river in Central Africa, still in operation 5 years on. We thank our clients for their valued and continued support. goldkacha mining barge goldkacha

One client said of APT's mining equipment "I have used APT's GoldKacha on a variety of alluvial projects in the most adverse and remote locations and they have proven themselves time again to be the ideal units for excellent recoveries in a multitude of applications. With their low operating costs and used in conjunction with their other plants, the GoldKacha has been instrumental for assessing alluvial deposits and exploration. They are a must in any miners tool kit". It's great to receive feedback from clients on our previous installations.

Do you have any questions or feedback on the APT GoldKacha or any other piece of mining equipment and their use in remote regions?
