Here are alluvial gold mines, deposits and projects mixed. Important is the knowledge of an average cut off for alluvial gold mining. Then reduce potential of mechanical sorting and assess it.
I can't find something to commerical listed alluvial gold mining companies. Novas grade for alluvial is about 0,8g depends on the mix of swale, swale margin and periphery.
Can somebode feed this statements for validation? Better would be the name of some commercial listed alluvial gold producers.
Swale, Swale Margins and Periphery
lenght is easy to define with taking mak samples. how do they define the swale margin? where gold specs going to weak? Looks like they know it because they can split it in bulk assays. Is such a trench always only a few meters width?

For the potential you need to know volume with all 3 dimensions. I see on NR always only the terminus 'wide'. I am really confused.
Can you provide an alluvial rookie like me with some information?
thank you
