    This is so amazing to see that MBMM shaker table as part of this incredible separation/recovery system! As owner of the MBMMLLC trademark and manufacturer of the table, it must give you a real sense of pride and accomplishment that it's such an integral part of such a vast and sophisticated system. And it's in FRANCE, of all places! Well done, Jason.

      No true but they usually use Chemicals to extract the metals, so using the shaker table is more environmentally friendly and more cost effective

      guess what, its still going to landfills - they are taking out 10% of the metal , creating a incredible amount of micro and nano plastics and putting it into the local area, with chemicals and wasted energy - then putting 90% back in a landfill

      He enver said how much if anything he buys the bags of stuff for.. But he says he goes through 25 tonnes a week. and he gets 100 Kgs of metalics per tonne.. so he would get around 2500kgs (2.5 tonne) worth of metalics per week. and he gets paid for copper at approx 8000 euro per tonne. so in a perfect world he would get 20000 euro per week.. Would be intersting to know how much he actually gets on average per tonne of their metalics after they take the degrading amount off..

    You should try running the #1 on another shaker table set up to separate the materials further. It might make financial sense for them to get a second table to better recover their pay materials.

    • @haphazard1342
      @haphazard1342 16 днів тому +7

      Gold is around $85/gram spot price, so it's less for even a very good concentrate. Let's be pessimistic and say they can only get a concentrate that is worth $75/gram. They claim to have 10g/ton, which makes for $750/ton. This must be per ton of high grade no. 1 concentrate, otherwise they would have five times as much in that concentrate and it would be clearly worth separating the gold (almost worth selling to a good refiner instead of a copper refiner). So if they have 25T/wk of input, they could have $18,750/wk in gold values. That should be able to pay for additional equipment pretty quickly.
      Jason said that the tables are limited by the amount of heavy metals, but I'll have to go and back-reference his other videos to see if they have enough precision to separate gold from a high-density concentrate that has so much copper. I think they can.
      Based on their system throughout and types of concentrates, they might even benefit from combining the no. 1 and no. 2 concentrates during this second shaker table run. This could help them separate their copper and aluminum fractions, increasing their yield and payout on copper. Even if they don't run them together, they could alternate or batch run each concentrate separately, with the same table setup and tuning, and improve their yields that way. I can see how it's not worth their time to re-process their concentrates on their current single table due to setup time and re-tuning. Depending on how difficult it was to dial in, it might be worthwhile for them to try a re-run on their current table to validate that buying a second one is worthwhile.
      The other consideration here is which parts of their system are the limitation on throughput. If the shaker table is the limitation, and they have enough capacity elsewhere, it would be a better capital investment to put a second shaker table in doing their current method instead of separating the gold. Doubling their throughout is doubling their weekly revenue, compared to the gold which might increase it by 15%.
      Great stuff as always, thanks Jason!

    • @goldensadventures1229

      @Beregorn88 16 днів тому

      @@haphazard1342 your math is off by an order of magnitude, since you forgot that the n.1 concentrate is only 10% of the original input. Assuming they would be able to actually concentrate the gold to any usable purity, 1800$/week is probably barely enough to pay for the ongoing costs of operating it...

    Very nice operation and glad to hear they plan to remove the precious from the copper in future, at 10g/Au per ton that seems like it would be worth it not to mention all the platinum, silver etc that will be in there too.

      Yeah, they're getting flat out ripped off by the smelter.
