Wow! About like a fresh peek at the ’52 Chev straight six, 3 speed on the stalk I learned to drive age 15 in ’53 Driver’s Ed by my Gym Coach. But with a turbo six, 8 speed auto paddle shift. The very same 400GPM MC I was taught to operate 2004 by old Bob Turner Comstock Lode , Plum Mine, American Flat, GSPG heap leach now in decommission. Bob of Reno had been chief metals engineer for Pegasus Gold, helped invent the process late ’50- mid ’60, took to Zortman Mine Montana then outback Australia to show the process now world leaders.
Same unit later added to double 800 GPM with 2 clarifiers and more 2nd unit filter panels then stored at Plum mine with rebirth new and larger plant as LODE. PT bought for $800 salvage never worked well again when donated to MarMar. Now hard to recall those ’16-’17 days by all but some die hard hang in the dusty past, PT’s again rebuilt with new chest high easy remove filter leaves seen in photo by Chem Eng Garcia ( may recall the claim here “some Dumbo Tucson dolt”, again by guess whom?) Is said to work well; just a belief is the latest PM recovered ( hey PM ‘s hardly sludge as the only base from leach,
flux , smelt to PM ingots for refinery sale in this same 4th qtr as last receipt in Oct. Just my comment as one few here done the whole process leach to PM product…. EVER. Any dispute?
And for certain aint no nuggets in cyanide ionized PM EVER but they certainly do pop up in the stock work zone placer area no
longer allowed as I’m well aware. Back breaking labor old back worn battery pack detector I do well know. Rather have wash cross my knuckles on a placer ripple board clean out. Real eye opener. Wanna see one them too?
