Excerpt from Losses in Gold Amalgamation: With Notes on the Concentration of Gold and Silver Ores
It is certain that new machines and new processes are, and will be, given attention by mining men in proportion to their probable merits; but the proper place for experiments is in a mill already as suc cessful as known processes can be made. In a new enterprise, even when the expense of an experiment is undertaken by the inventor, the loss to the mine owner in case of failure must be very great, both in time and general running expenses. Directors should not believe that a willingness to risk cash in proving an invention is necessarily any proof of value of the same it is only a measure of the faith of the inventor, which is hardly a safe standard by which to risk shareholders' money.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of gold mining and milling systems over a 15-year period. The author argues that many of the methods considered groundbreaking and effective are actually nothing new. Instead, they are old and familiar techniques, sometimes simply repackaged for new audiences. Drawing on data from companies and official reports, this book establishes that the average loss of gold during the milling process is low, making the expensive and complex systems implemented by mining companies a waste of resources. The book offers an in-depth look at gold amalgamation systems and the failures companies have encountered when adopting new machinery. The author then proposes a compromise solution of employing greater skill in copper-plate amalgamation, finer crushing, concentration, and more effective treatment systems, which can significantly reduce the loss of gold and produce higher returns.
