Hi guys,
Epic spring tides have a lot of good materials coming off the local cobble beaches!
I'm in need of equipment to crush and process metal Sulfides inside of host rocks in order to free and oxidize the chalcopyrites (fools gold) to liberate the Gold or Silver content in them.
CHALCOPYRITES: contain roughly equal amounts of Sulphur-Iron-Copper +/- 25-30% with accessories of Gold, Silver, Lead, Zinc etc.
Depending on the host rocks.
EG: vms, skarn, Sedex, porphory etc.
These rocks contain metal flecks that are presumably fools gold with a content of other sulfides.
I am specifically looking for a Jaw crusher and a smaller fine grain crusher.
Do you have one? I'm located in San Diego.
I have about 7 gallons of rough that needs processing, can pay cash and/ or do a split on the gold recovery (if any !??!)
My plans are to Crush to powder, Screen, re-crush, remove the magnetics, roast the sulfides to oxidize the Sulphur, remove the new magnetics once oxidized, mix that with Flux in a crucible and finally melt that to concentrate any precious metals.
If you have experience doing these things, let's partner up.
If you have equipment or know someone in the GPAA or LDMA please text me.
Thanks ahead of time
MATT B.
Calls OK but texts are preferable, No EMAIL please.
Will take better pictures with more clarity when sun comes up!
