STATEMENT FROM OUR CEO
We are demonstrating consistent grade and reliability of our process, over 90% recovery and up to 1.2 grams per ton over a sustained period.
​
We have identified the path to maximize recovery with only gravity and no chemicals. Additionally, with recent advice from the screen manufacturer's engineering we believe we can increase the feed to our plant by over 4x simply by utilizing the proper size screen. We have also learned how to deal with the severe condensing humidity here.
​
Large and small miners have attempted to mine this beach since the 1890s and nobody before has succeeded. We believe that we are the first to conquer the engineering of the rich but difficult beach sand.
​
We have completed several excellent years and engineering continues to progress at a fast pace. We are continuing to implement all the learning of past seasons and are well positioned for an enhanced overall recovery and boosted tonnage.
