  @yetihopps ^^^^Crush/screen/sort: No water, no chemicals, no tailings dam, hardly any overburden (flat and shallow), no mill construction (permits, ect), real-time grade control in the field (no off-premise lab delays). Verified the very fine halo Au can be recovered.

Interesting.  Usually I run across the word "halo" in mining in regards to  epithermal deposits surrounding porphyry centers. I assume that we are here talking about "halo" as a different sequence of something already idenfied.  That is, conglomerate gold which has its genesis in fossilized sediments.  As the saying goes,"The more you know, the more

[HurricaneZeta]

Most here know what the halo is vp. You just have not been around long enough. Its the fines surrounding the nugget in situ. About 10% of the insitu nugget. Z

The "halo effect " was a very fine golden sheen found in the conglomerate matrix immediately surrounding a coarse gold nugget. I believe it was the result of erosion of the gold nugget itself, frozen as ultra fine gold particulate in surrounding host conglomerate. Tx

You really think he would ignore me Tx? I will come back as Polite Pete and see how I do. The halo had something to do with ants I think. Z

Sheen?  Do you mean as in nano particles?  Are such recoverable by mechanical means? 

[ValuePro]

Yeah, stupid question, but I am not clear as to your meaning because tiny particles as in a "sheen" would not be recoverable mechanically.

O.k. JJ, thanks.  I see a nugget surrounded by a gold matrix, both of which may be mechanically sorted, while a "sheen" can not. 

[JuglarJoesph]

Its gold dust. They say they can pick out 99% of the gold with sorters. And from the early days they were saying that dust accounted for 7 to 10% of the gold in situ, from memory.  I highly doubt that can be recovered by a sorting machine. You can call me JJ VP. JJ

[JuglarJoesph]

Which brings up a good point. If the halo can not be recovered in reality the grade drops by 10% so now you need another machine to get 733 tpd. So 11 machines for every of Jim Bowie's 1. Along with everything else 11 times also. And thats all I will say on the matter. JJ

[JuglarJoesph]

Tomorrow we need to come up with a factor for theft. If you can just pick it up off the ground then that also needs to be incorporated into Jimbos machine count.  Thats all I will say about that today.  JJ

[JuglarJoesph]

So is, shall we call it high grading or theft, possible from a remote location with on site security, and what is a reasonable factor to use in the Jimbowie machine count. I am surrounded by mines and in the old days theft was quite a problem. There are plenty of ways to steal from a mine. - a mine superintendant's house was broken into by masked bandits who tied him and his wife up and told

With a bit of imagination one could just walk off the deposit also. https://www.cnn.com/style/article/shanghai-relocate-building-preservation-intl-hnk-scli/index.html JJ

Dust in a matrix?  Do you mean that when it becomes free gold it is dust?  Clearly, I have little experience with conglomerate gold.

[JuglarJoesph]

Yes. It used to be part of the nugget. Time and microbial thingys in a water or shoreline environment slowly disintegrates the nuggets. Back in the wet age. Think Waterworld, Jean Tripplehorn. My understanding anyway but others can elaborate better than me. Tx in particular has covered extensively but hes borderline alzheimers now so he might not remember.  JJ

[JuglarJoesph]

The theory is all explained on the nvo website. Bacteria lives inside rock. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/microbial-life-discovered-deep-in-canadian-mine-66333 JJ

Yep, pesty microbials are everywhere; in outer space, around volcanic vents, even on and around your keyboard. 

[JuglarJoesph]

You think mine is dirty, youve never seen Venus Van Dame's.  JJ:) zzz

[TXRogers]

Does that mean I am qualified to run for the US Presidency?   I'll need a new crack pipe first. Tx
