The Gustavus Thread

[BarrenRealms007]

I'm about half done with the run when the motor went up in smoke, anyhow I brought the small plastic tobacco tub in to scale, half full it weighs 2.70 lbs. of concentrates

That sounds like it was working then before the blow up.

Good thing I had a spare, just about finished relocating the replacemnt motor which this time is mounted from the side keeping it nice and dry. Instead of being direct coupled to the motor it's now belt driven.

Came if for a coffee break, then back out to the shop to finish cutting in the slots for the motor tightener then weld a bracket for the controller.

I feel that is the way to go with it.

The new set up is actualy working better than I originally had it.

Barren do you care to venture a guess as to the metal in the tan streaks in picture number two below.

I would say there is a good possability that it is gold.

I like that motor set up better.

Excellent job.

Yes I would agree the tan streaks are gold. another observation I made as I neared the bottom of my tub about the last two inches of mud there was a major colour shift as the tan material begun to disappear from my cons recovered from the bowel. It would appear whatever is laying near.the bottom of the tub is heavier than gold.

I'll be spending sometime this afternoon re-running the spent material ( tailings ) through the centrifuge or better put my lack of experience on operating the centrifuge missed any cons.

Metals I expect to recover from the cons.

Silver, Gold,Tantalum, Germanium, Palladium, Platinum, will send the dregs out for assay to see what is left.

I think the heavier sediment goes along with what we talked about the other day. Looking very good so far.
