Small Scale Mining | The Profits are There

Never underestimate the power of small scale mining. With the correct equipment, you can get into the game with a brilliant foundation to grow from. Some of the benefits include minimal capital outlay, short mining equipment lead times coupled with powerful equipment, minimised hassle and continuous production. From this starting point, you can grow with your profit and expand your mine as you go, rather than requiring a large capital investment and all the problems that can arise with doing so.

A large proportion of our clients either are small scale miners who are new to the game, or miners who started out on a small to medium scale mining with APT equipment and have grown from there. This picture was sent to us showing gold recovered with APT’s range of small scale mining equipment being used across various small scale mine sites in West Africa.

This is just one example, amongst many, of what can be achieved. Starting small is a smart and brilliant solution for any small or medium scale miners looking to get into the game quickly and efficiently. For further information, please contact us here.

A Little Gold Goes A Long Way | Gravity Gold Mining Equipment Done Right

It is easy to recover gravity gold, with APT’s range of equipment that is. Starting with the famous GoldKacha, you can be in production for a very small capital outlay and recoup your investment in days. This is the base level entry that allows you to get into the game with a top quality piece of equipment and begin the climb to success.

From there you can add an RG30 scrubber to increase tonnage, or an RD15 crusher to recover gold from the reef.

Whatever route you choose, there is an APT piece of equipment to assist you at every step.

Go GOLD, go APT. Contact us here for further information.

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.
