1980’s Wash Plant with Hy-G P40 Fine Gold Recovery Circuit
Visit us at www.hygconcentrators.com
Hy-G Concentrators Inc. supplies fine gold concentrators and systems for the alluvial placer and hard rock mining industries.
This 1980’s vintage high capacity gold wash plant was designed and operated by our now semi-retired Mechanical Engineer and Placer Mining Consultant of 40 years, Mr. Bill Steeves, and he was kind enough to narrate the video!

thanks for the cool vid. The wash plant master wow amazing. Just think that cleanup was just 1 sluice box cycle. That color is adding up fast they need a rock truck just to haul the gold home.
Awesome video, I am currently minning just to the west of this cut. Straight down from cooper gultch at the base of anvil mtn
John, I am curious if you are still mining there and what type of plant you have set up?
Impressive. Have not seen some of this innovation before on washplants. I wonder what the main recurring failures or maintenance items were? What percentage of the total gold was caught with that massive fine gold recovery system? Why are washplants shown on shows like Gold Rush so simple in comparison?
6 Seasons, 115 days each summer, 24 hours a day 7 days a week operation, 1 major failure in Season #4 with a broken feeder shaft which cost 12 days operating. There was a strict maintenance plan for the plants. Send an email to sales@hygconcentrators.com and we can share more details on it. We can’t comment on other company's mining operations specifically but the following comment from the engineer gives you an idea of what it took to run these plants and might help you compare “Nome and Fairbanks plants produced an average of 170 ounces of gold per day and a season range from 19,800 ounces to our maximum season of 22,400 ounces. The cost of my plants and our earth-moving equipment were totally paid for in the first season due to our 24-hour, 7-day per week type of operations. At Nome, we had a total staff of 32 men to operate at a 7-day per week level.” Regarding the Hy-G fine gold recovery module “The gold scavenged from the sluice tails paid out the all-in costs in 58 days of Plant operation. Sluice recovery was 82%. Hy-G recovery was 18%. Total Plant recovery was 99.8%.
40 años despues este sigue siendo el mejor sistema de recoleccion para este tipo de material,tomando en cuenta su complejidad granulometrica,sedimentacion natural,volumen requerido,no hay aun otro sistema mas eficiente,excelente video,muy buenas sus explicaciones y gracis por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias. 40 years later this is still the best collection system for this type of material, taking into account its granulometric complexity, natural sedimentation, required volume, there is no other more efficient system, excellent video, very good explanations and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
I agree, it's such a great system.
