Buying single pieces of equipment does not result in the 95% recoveries we promote. Build a custom plant with machinery that is made to work together.
Deign your plant around the ore mineralogy and the expert advice of GSI’s geologists, mineralogists, metallurgists, and mining experts.
We will ensure synergy amount the miners and vehicles, equipment types, sizes, and processing capacities, water flow rates, and much more.
Placer Equipment Overview
The objective of prospecting is to search for economically exploitable mineral deposits. GSI’s geologists and mining experts can search mineral deposits with methods such as geological surface mapping and sampling, geophysical measurements, and geochemical analysis. These methods have several sub-techniques that vary depending on the individual concession.
Reverse Circulation (RC) and Core (diamond) drilling is offered to extract rocks from various depths beneath the surface for confirming geology and providing samples for chemical analysis.
RC samples are collected at the drill and send directly to the assay lab whereas diamond drill core is logged, photographed, split for sample, assayed to determine grade, size, and minerality, and warehoused.
Once a reserve estimation is established, GSI conducts a feasibility study to help determine the economic viability of the project and either develop or drop the deposit.
Upon mapping and collecting mineral resource data, the project moves to the design and planning stage, which includes planning for safety, environmental impact, corporate social responsibility, and ultimately economic viability with such factors considered.
GSI has exclusive agreements with mining equipment manufacturers who are dedicated to environmentally friendly mining practices, including gravity-fed, water-based systems with 95% recoveries.
Mining rights, permits, leases, and licenses are required for this stage. Development also includes establishing proper access to the mineral deposit, access roads, power sources established, processing facilities, environmental management systems, employee housing, and much more.
The main methods of mining are surface and underground, and the exact approach is determined by the aspects of the mineral deposit and established by safety, technology, environmental, and economic concerns.
Step 1: Extracting the ore from rock using various tools and machinery.
Step 2: Processing the recovered minerals through GSI crushers, mills, concentrators, and gold rooms to separate commercially viable minerals from the ores into a concentrate.
Step 3: Smelting the concentrates, or melting the cons in a furnace to extract the metal from other heavies. The ore is poured into molds to produce bars of bullion that are ready for sale or further refining.
GSI carefully craft plans on how to shut down our mining operations before it’s even built. Our desire is to leave a community and the surrounding environment better than how we found it.
A few key objectives in our closure and reclamation plan include:
