What to Expect from iCON
It is common for internet advertisements to show a process where a small amount of gravel goes in and a large quantity of bright shiny gold comes out. Experienced miners know this is not the case. A sluice box is a gravity concentrator. Let’s say you put 1000kg of feed over your sluice. At the end of the day, you may have 20kg of ‘concentrate.’ This concentrate is not bright and shiny, in fact, it looks just like the feed material. This material has to be post processed to further ‘clean your cons’ and give you a sellable product. Although a sluice can give you a very high concentration ratio, it is not effective for recovering fine gold. In the case of sluice operations, miners are choosing iCON to further concentrate the vast amount of material accumulate in the sluice.
When using an ‘enhanced centrifugal concentrator,’ you may put up to 1000 kg into the process and get 1kg out. This will be a ‘concentrate.’ It will look just like the feed material. Some people choose to sell this concentrate while others choose to continue refining it to shiny, clean, high grade gold.
