Why recovery gets simpler, not more complex... Positive means of recovering microscopic gold using mechanical means! Standing waves, skin effect, inertia, and mostimportantly specific gravity, are all used in the recovery of gold, platinum, scheelite, copper, zinc oxide, and many otherminerals from their ores.
Replaces: centrifugal concentrators, flotation cells,amalgamation, leaching, jigs, and a great deal more - Environmentally safer to use!
In today’s environmentally-conscious world, extreme attention is being paid to operations using “chemical means”, in-cluding mercury, or even non-hazardous chemicals in the recovery of precious metals. Worldwide companies earnestly keeptheir operations clean and safe, as today's miners are just as concerned about contamination as the general public. Action Mining, many years ago, joined the ranks of concerned miners and mining companies referencing the use ofchemical means to extract precious metals. We felt that even the best concepts needed application, thus the Micron Mill WaveTable was born. The mining industry can now eliminate worries regarding hazardous products or waste material. ActionMining’s Micron Mill systems use only water, and possibly some biodegradable surfactant. Again, everything is environmen-tally safe, thus avoiding "chemical permits", arguments with government agencies, hazardous waste disposal costs, and most
importantly, the headachesconnected with chemical ex-traction of gold, or other met-als. (See inside for moreinformation or CALL TOLLFREE 800 624-1511)

How It Works: The picture below shows the wave theory ofthe table. Separating by specific gravity, the sand forms in riffles directlyunder the standing wave of water. Even light blond sand forms riffles, notwashing away. Due to the Standing Wave principle, the heaviest particlesremain through the low motion area of the Standing Wave. The wave itselfmoves; the water directly beneath the wave tends to stand still. The furtherfrom the top of the wave, the less motion is in the water. Thus, the heavierthe particle the deeper it will ride and the less motion it will see. The “RifflePump” attached to the top bar of the Riffle Bar assists in dropping ‘float gold’to the table surface, enabling a faster production run without fear of losing
gold or other metals that normally would be lost on most tables.In view of the fact that the table top moves back and forth, the micron particles of heavy material (gold, PGMs, scheelite,copper, zinc oxide, etc.) sink to the bottom under the wave. The finer particles (-600 mesh and smaller) drop into a SkinEffect area. That area is directly against the skin of the table top. The water in this area does not move with the flowingwater but rather sits almost still. The motion of the table causes this “Skin Effect” water to move in the opposite direction ofthe flow. Thus the fine gold or mineral moves ‘up’ the table and falls into the concentrate trough. The gold and/orconcentrates can then be washed automatically into a concentrate bucket or a security safe, or vacuumed off the table.Ore should be classified according to size for efficient results.
The Secret lies at the Heart of the System:
Superior, top-of-the-line linear ball bearings: responsible for the precision back and forwardmotion of the table top, preventing up and down vibration that causes gold or heaviest materials tobreak loose and wash away. The bearings move back and forth on the 5/8” steel rods.Highest Quality Fiberglass Top: vacuum-formed, sealed fiberglass top with a 1” thick base is builtto give several years of satisfactory results, conducive to not warping (store out of direct sunlight).The finish blue color has been proven to be the best color contrast for gold viewing.
Rubber Matting: a recovery enhancing feature of the M10 production unit that catches and allows extremely fine particlesto travel safely up the table (slurry ore flow runs parallel to grooves), allowing a faster production run of coarser material!Never available before, you can now run -40 mesh material without loss of microscopic gold or other product!!
The Micron Mill Wave Table can be fed from an overhead tank, slurry fed by conveyor belts, or by pipe, dependingon your setup requirements. Ask our design engineer for assistance. On-site consultation and assisted setup is available. The Micron Mill Wave Table is beyond question a new developmentin the recovery of micron particles or minerals of all kinds. This table can beadjusted to separate virtually anything since it cleanly separates byspecific gravity. Under most circumstances it will replace flotation cells aswell as other concentrating tables. Our theory of operation and use differsquite widely from other concentration equipment. The inertia bump is in onedirection and the flow of precious metals is in the opposite direction. Therecovery of micron particles as small as 5 microns (approx. 10,000 mesh) ishappening daily! Our trailblazing Tables rank near the top in order of importance in therecovery of precious metal particles. Until the present, there has been nomechanical method of recovering particles of gold finer than 150 mesh (106microns). The only workable methods for micron gold particles smaller than 150mesh have been leaching and flotation. Now, recovery of finer particles can beaccomplished without the environmental problems associated with leachingand flotation. Notably, the cost factor of the Micron Mill Wave Table recoverymethod is usually less than 1/10 the cost of leaching, flotation or amalgamation.

Our Production Size M10Table (8 tph)):
left - 2008 MODEL has a solid metalfeed trough with built in liner.
•A production table for making aprimary concentrate of a 10-20X ratiowhich would then be fed onto yourfinish table (M7) to make the highgrade concentrate. The screening ofore is not as critical as for a finishtable, thus you could run -40 meshmaterial. The optional rubber mattingensures fine particles of gold are notlost in wider mesh ranges. The RifflePump on the Riffle Bar still keeps
float gold dropping to the surface of the table, and moving up to the concentrate outlet.•Operating on the same principles as the 1 tph unit, using six 1” superior linear bearings forsmooth action, and a hydraulics drive system to ensure steady production runs.•The positive Hydraulic Drive System works at a constant motion so the amount of feed to thetable can vary without a critical change in the mechanical separation process on the table. (Inother systems, if your feed changes, critical changes occur that alter the separation process,thereby losing precious metals.)•The Hydraulic System is an independent closed loop setup ensuring 1) no contamination inyour hydraulics and 2) no worry of oil or hydraulic fluids to mess up your table runs. Keeping theHydraulic System in a separate area allows for a safer, more comfortable atmosphere free fromheavy, noisy ore-moving equipment. You are therefore safekeeping the controls fromunnecessary/unwanted adjustments.•With this table, slime or recycled water can be used as long as it doesn’t plug up holes-still no float gold will be lost!•Riffle Bars and Feed Trough are adjustable; factory installed for 10 to 1 cut

18 years of proven success,the M7 Production Size Table (1 tph) also
serves as a Finish Table.While having the capability ofacting as a production table fora smaller mill or pilot operation(concentrating approximately 1ton of ore per hour), the M7 canbe used as a Finish Table producing a very high gradeconcentrate of precious metals. Gold will separate efficientlyand at a high percentage from black sands - which is astatement unheard of in mechanical separation consideringthe specific gravity of black sands and gold are so close inproximity! This Table will separate them! As a Production Table, the same table that is used forproduction can be used to clean the cons. The concentratesproduced can be reloaded onto the table for the finish(cleanup) and can give almost pure gold or other metal whenthe water flow is properly adjusted. As a Finish Table, the concentrates coming off of theProduction Table can be run directly onto this table, offering avery efficient system for a mill operation.

“Mike, the two M7 Micron Wave tables that we are using have performed flawlessly for about a year now. Due to the density ofthe feed and the continuous operation, we had to make a few very minor changes to the tables. One table is being used to recover metalvalues that our other recovery processes missed. The other M7 is being used to clean up the mids from a full size Diester table. Both tableshave been running 24 /7 since 1996 with no breakdowns! The M7 tables are very efficient as far as low water consumption and are ableto recover metal in the range of 5 to 44 microns, something that our large tables have trouble doing. The tables are very operator friendlyand inexpensive to maintain. I enjoyed working with you and the folks at Action Mining and look forward to doing so in the future.” BillMcCuskey, Asst. Process Engineer, Kennametal Inc. , Nevada
“The M7 is an amazing piece of equipment. It does everything you said it would .. It now makes a lot of other pieces ofequipment obsolete and is going to change the way we (sample) the ground. We are seeing stuff that we could not get with the pan. Evenusing the table to say yes/no as to if its worth sending any sample to the lab justifies its use.” Australia
“I ran the old type tables and they just frankly, didn’t inspire me. Your table does! Not only is the theory fabulous...it makes theoperator strive to get the BEST separation possible. So...not only do you have a successful run...you feel damn good about it” Cheryl C,Oregon
“Since I unpacked my table, I've run it for about 4 or 5 hours getting used to it. I am quite satisfied with the first results and thefirst recovery tests are positive.

Micron Mill Wave Table™ M4Laboratory Bench Model
The newest model of our M4 has been selling like hotcakes withgood word coming in on how easy it is to use and getting greatrecovery of fine gold particles! The M4 is perfect for any individualworking alone. The newly developed tabletop rollers help stabilize and eliminatemost surface vibration, allowing for faster feed-through of classifiedmaterial, giving the miner the freedom from the backbreaking panningof yesteryears! Running off a 12v battery or battery charger (notincluded), the M4 can be used anywhere. Removable table legs areadjustable! Today, the legs slide into the main frame piece; variableholes allow the operator to adjust the height of the table for skillfullyrunning their classified ore body.
Transportable for working in the field or bench testing in a limited enclosed lab area, the optional M4 Stand bringsthe working level of the M4 to a height of 24" off the ground (as a back-saving convenience!), allowing use of a 5-gallon bucket for thedischarge of tails. Every person, including our lab personnel, who has used this Stand have thought it the greatest! Working in theopen, in a van or from the back of a truck, the M4 Stand can be held stable with the use of sand bags (or anything heavy) loaded on thecrossbars of the frame. Use a Vacuum System to suck the gold concentrates from the table while it keeps working!

Basic Fire Assay Instructions1. Be sure that your ore is a representative sample of your ore vein. Take chips and rocks from the entire surfaceof the vein and drill the vein if possible.2. Pulverize the ore into a powder (80 mesh or finer) and stir the powdered ore thoroughly.3. Measure out 29.16 grams of ore (this is an Assay Ton).4. Mix 90 grams (3 ounces) of the proper assay formula with the ore and place into a 30 gram crucible. (See page13 for instructions concerning the proper assay formula and page 14 for a picture of a crucible).5. Furnace crucible at 1850°-2000°F for 45 minutes to 1½ hours (The crucible must remain in the furnace for atleast 45 minutes after the furnace reaches temperature - until it is done & quits smoking).6. Using tongs remove the crucible from the furnace and pour its entire contents into a pouring mold. (See page12 for a picture of tongs and page 20 for a picture of a pouring mold).7. When the slag in the pouring mold has cooled, there will be a lead button at the bottom of the slag. Break thisloose from the slag.8. Pound the lead button with a hammer until the slag is broken off. Most assayers pound the lead button into acube. A small amount of slag will adhere to the lead as powder. This will give no trouble.9. Place the lead on a cupel (See page 14 for picture) and place the cupel into the furnace at 1750°F. until thelead has all been absorbed into the cupel or volatilized into the air, leaving the gold and silver as a small bead inthe cupel.10. Weigh the bead, or measure its size. (See page 17 for picture of a balance; or if you measure the bead, (Seepage 16 for a picture of a comparator and a chart to determine the weight from the size of the bead.) NOTE: Foreach milligram your bead weighs, there is 1 ounce of gold and silver in your ore. But remember at this point thebead is gold and silver so you must go on to step 11 before you will know the exact gold (and silver) content.11. You must now determine how much gold and silver is in the bead. If there is any slight yellow coloring inthe bead, it is at least 77% gold. Dark yellow indicates up to 99% gold. If the bead is silver color then it shouldbe dropped into (25% nitric + 75% distilled water) warm nitric solution. (See page 16 for details on determiningthe gold and silver content of the assay beads.
WARNING: Assay lead fumes are poisonous. An assay furnace must not be used indoorsunless under a ventilated metal hood.
NOTE: Wear gloves and goggles when doing assays.Goggles or face shield must be worn at all times. Hot slag can spatter.
Always add ACID TO WATER, not water to acid!

Electric Furnaces & PartsThese furnaces have 4” thick side walls, floors, and ceilings. The frame is builtof sturdy angle iron, and the outside is stainless steel. Plain and simple torebuild the insides, also replace elements. Inserting crucibles or cupels isdone easily, without heavy heat loss... These are some of the reasons we’vebeen selling this furnace, almost exclusively, for the past 20 years. Thetemperature rating is 2300° F. continuous operation, which means you willhave a little extra margin for those unusual experiments. We have seen someof these furnaces that have lasted for many years. The extra thick walls makethis furnace very energy efficient. Our belief is that you can not find a betterbuilt electric furnace for assay purposes at any price. All models are furnishedwith a pyrometer (temperature readings). With a little practice the operatorcan set the control to maintain any given temperature. For those who wantAutomatic Control, that too is available on all models. Temperature ismaintained within 2° using the Automatic Control.

Pre-Mixed Flux FormulationsOur fluxes are usedthroughout the world.Since the fluxes are pre-mixed, they save theamateur as well as theexperienced assayertime and money. Acceptno substitutes!
Standard Ores FluxThis is the most often used Assay Flux formula. Just addthis flux to any standard type ore and fire in any firefurnace. A 25 gram lead button will be produced with moststandard ores. If the lead button is smaller than 20 gramsone should redo the assay and add 5 grams of wholewheat flour (standard food flour). Use 3 times as muchflux formula as ore. Guaranteed silver-free.
Sulfide Ores FluxThis formula will produce all of the free gold, silver, andplatinum in sulfide ores. This is important - one mustuse four 8 penny nails with each assay in addition tothis flux. Bend the nails in a U-shape in order for them tosit completely into the flux and drop them into the crucible.The iron will unite with the sulfur and other impurities andreduce the litharge to lead. Always check to see if someportion of the nails are still present when you finish theassay. If all the nails are gone, you didn't use enough nailsso you must redo the assay using more nails. Use 3 timesas much formula as ore. Silver-free.
Gold Chlorides FluxSpecially formulated for ores suspected to have goldchlorides present to keep it from vaporizing.
Gold/Silver Smelting FluxFor material containing 70%+ gold or silver content to getit clean. To put your gold or silver into the shapes or formsyou wish, just mix equal parts flux with your gold or silverpowder, heat in a crucible, pour hot flux mixture into yourmold and break off slag when cooled. It comes off niceand clean.
Silver Chloride Smelting FluxSpecially formulated for smelting silver chloride. If you don'tuse a special flux, you will lose a lot of your silver as it willgo into the flux and air.
Platinum Group Metals FluxFormulated to pull & hold onto the PGMs for improvedsmelting recovery. Now available for Sulfides! Pleasespecify if you have sulfides in your ore!

The Science of CupellingCupelling is a part of assaying, however it can also be used at anytime to prove or disprove precious metals. In other words,cupelling can be used as a mini-assay. If you have anything inwhich you believe might be gold, silver or platinum, it is simple to)grind a small amount of your substance, mix it with somepowdered lead or wrap some lead wool around it, put it in a cupeland place it in the furnace. In about 40 minutes you will have abead of precious metals or no bead as the case may be. This has
been an absolute test of gold, silver, and platinum for over 2000 years.The heated lead oxidizes creating hot litharge, a liquid that destroys all minerals except the precious metals.Everything is destroyed and dissolved and the precious metals are drawn into the lead. The cupel acts as ablotter for the litharge and soon all of the lead has oxidized leaving only the precious metals as a bead on thecenter of the cupel.
Bone Ash Cupels Magnesite (MgO) Cupels
Clay Crucibles
A professional assayer uses a clay crucible onetime, but in a private lab crucibles can re-used 3 to6 times. If you use a crucible more than once, besure that the next assay will not be contaminatedwith gold from the first assay. To be sure of this,do not use a crucible that had a high assay oreven one that had an assay near what you are

Scorification Assay One usually works with 1/10th Assay Ton (2.9 grams) when doing scorification assays. It is a cheap andquick assay, but it is also less accurate than the standard fire assay. Nevertheless many assayers use scorification often. It can also be used inconjunction with a standard assay to increase the accuracy. Our Assay Manual gives complete details; however, the instructions below arecomplete enough for scorification assays.1) Measure 2.9 grams of ore.2) Use approximately 30 grams of lead.3) Place the ore and the lead in a Scorification (Roasting) Dish.4) Place in a furnace at 1800° F.5) The ore will float on the molten lead. Some of the lead will turn to lead oxide and saturate the ore.6) Ore slag will form a crust around the edge of the lead pool.7) Finally the slag will close over the lead pool. It is now time to pour the entire contents of the dish into a Pouring Mold.8) Wait until the slag has cooled; then break the slag off the lead button and pound the lead into a cube to remove the remaining slag.9) Cupel the lead button.
Scorification & Roasting DishesThese Roasting & Scorification Dishes are cast of fire clay materials and will stand thefull heat of your furnace. They are used for scorification assays as well as roasting.

Assay Beads, Parting ofPorcelain Evaporating DishUsed for parting and drying, impervious to acids and can be used on a hot plate.2 1/4” Cat # EVAPDISH2.25 Price $19.153” Cat # EVAPDISH3 Price $22.20Porcelain CrucibleWe use these easy-to-handle cups for small beads. 15 ML Cat # PORCELAIN15 Price $ 5.95 30 ML Cat # PORCELAIN30 Price $ 8.98 60 ML Cat # PORCELAIN60 Price $12.82
The Parting and Drying Dish is a necessary part of the assay. The gold bead from the cupel is placed in the dish along with nitricacid and water. Use distilled water only, 2 parts water to 1 part acid. Heat on a hot plate or over an alcohol flame. Heat long enough topermit fumes to rise from the acid. If the bead begins to bubble and react, allow the action to continue until there is more action. If the beadsimply discolors after the first fumes, add enough water to cool the acid and stop any further action. Compare the color of the bead to thecolor chart below to determine gold content.
If the bead bubbled, when the bubbling stops, pour off the diluted acid carefully and add distilled water and pour off several times.Finally drain the water off and dry over heat. The black residue left is the gold (99% pure). It will turn gold color when annealed at 1000°Ffor 3 minutes. This gold is carefully removed from the parting dish and weighed.If the bead did not bubble and you wish amore accurate indication than the color chart, then the answer is to inquart with silver, Just add 4times as much silver by weight as there is gold in the bead to the bead with about 10 times as much lead and re-cupel. The silver will alloywith gold and allow the nitric to dissolve the silver leaving the gold. Be sure to weigh the bead before adding the silver, then when you haveweighed the gold you will know how much silver actually came out of the assay.

When taken from the Cupel:
Dark yellow............................92 to 100% goldBright yellow............................85 to 92% goldSlight yellow (greenish)...........77 to 84% gold
Silver assay beads are often partly gold. Theyshould be dropped into a nitric acid solution.

Standard Vacuum Procedure:This method is the most efficient procedure and will yield a more completeremoval of the filtering agent.1. Place the paper in the funnel and moisten with a few drops of solvent.This prevents any solid passing under the paper.2. Pour a small amount of liquid through the funnel and apply gentlevacuum. if all is functioning properly continue with gentle vacuum, as as agreater vacuum will cause smaller particles to pass through the paper,making further filtering necessary.

You will get more gold out of yourmercury. 1 lb Cat#MCC43-1 $ 22.00 with instructions 5 lbs Cat#MCC43-5 $ 35.00
MCC-50™ for Charged Mercury™Charged Mercury turns mercury into the negative pole of a battery. The preciousmetals in the ore then become the positive pole of the battery and when they touch the mercury, a high current flowsthat is equivalent to many hundreds of amps per sq. ft. This powerful current cleans the precious metals and coversthem with mercury. This process will often work to make gold, silver and platinum amalgamate when they will not do sounder other methods. A very important point! We have received many reports that ores, (even those that doamalgamate easily), have greater yield of precious metals by using Charged Mercury™. One pound of MCC-50™ willcharge 16 lbs. of mercury 3 times.1 lb Cat#MCC50-1 $ 13.50 with instructions5 lbs Cat#MCC50-5 $ 34.0010 lbs. Cat#MCC50-10 $ 45.50

CLS LeachesCLS 20, 21 and 22 are designed to work at room temperature (60 - 80° F.) Infact, they will get less recovery of precious metals at temperatures higher than90° F. These leaches cost considerably less in larger quantities. Our leachproducts are biodegradable, acidic leaches, that can be re-used, getting betterresults in most cases than single compound leaches. Any complex ore shouldbe tested with CLS-20, 21, and 22. Each leach has different oxidizers andleaching components. One of these combinations may work better on yourore. They are not for concentrates. Concentrates should be tested withCLS-25, a gold leach.

Electrolytic Recovery SystemsFor a hundred years at least, the recovery of precious metalsfrom leach liquids has always been accomplished when the liquidhas been filtered from the ore. The removal of the liquid from theore has always been the most expensive operation whenhandling leaches and the filtration equipment has always beenthe most expensive equipment in the entire mining operation.System III™ changed that. System III™ recovers the preciousmetals directly from the ore totally eliminating the filtrationsystem. System III™ is a method of electrolytic precipitation, notelectroplating. The plate (cathode) is contained within a 4 micronpolypropylene filter bag that sits in the ore/leach solution.Particles in the ore cannot penetrate the filter bag but the ions,which are really a part of the liquid, move freely through the bagand deposit the precious metals on the stainless steel cathode.System III™ is an efficient system. It works well, but like all otherleaching systems it will not work on some ores and most orestake some time and work and experimenting to make them workwith any system.

When looking for gold, don't took for gold,look for geochemicals
Basic TheoryThe presence of geochemical haloes has been known and used for 59 years by many mining companies.All deposits of precious metals have associated geochemicals. Precious metals do not exist in depositswithout geochemicals that are to some extent, water soluble. These geochemicals always wick their wayout through solid rock and dirt over thousands of years. Such chemicals are detectable by ourGeochemical Meter.So when looking for gold, don't look for gold, look for geochemicals. The geochemicals spread out severalhundred feet while the gold stays hidden. Most of the gold at the surface has already been located. Nowthe Geochemical Meter gives independent prospectors and miners higher technology for locating the 85%to 90% of gold that has not yet been found because it is beneath the ground surface.In the past few years several of the larger mining companies have become discouraged with geochemicalprospecting. They have made the mistake of looking for acid soluble geochemicals. Unfortunately, acidsoluble geochemicals exist everywhere, and water soluble geochemicals exist only around mineralizedveins and placers. Thus looking for acid soluble geochemicals can be very confusing and unproductive.When properly carried out, geochemical exploration is the best modern method available, regardless ofprice, when prospecting for precious metals.
What You Can Use It ForPreliminary Assays - If you want to know whether you should have a rock assayed or not, use this meter.A high reading should be assayed and a low reading indicates that it will be useless to assay the rock. Theinstruction manual gives details.Placer Prospecting and Evaluation - All placers have geochemical haloes. Does a placer exist in thearea? The ground will read high in the placer area and will gradually taper off as you leave the placer.High readings in the dirt indicate a 98% chance of a placer if you use the meter correctly.Prospecting for Hard Rock Gold Veins - All mineralized veins have geochemical haloes. Thesegeochemicals wick their way to the surface over the hundreds of years. They even go through solid rock.You can use them to detect mineralized veins hundreds of feet deep in the earth.Testing Rivers and Streams for Precious Metals - This is a fast, sure way of locating placer and hardrock deposits of precious metals. The Geochemical Meter can detect both more than a mile downstreamfrom the deposit.Locating Buried Treasure - All buried treasure eventually creates haloes of metals around it. This halosometimes extends 100 feet and more depending upon time in the ground. This is true even if the treasureis inside of a cave in a wooden box. Proper use of the Geochemical Meter can be of invaluable use inlocating such treasures. The Geochemical Meter does not replace metal detectors, rather use it inconjunction with metal detectors for serious treasure hunting.Laboratory Testing - The Geochemical Meter will test dissolved geochemicals and metals in water. Manyuses can be made of the meter. One suggestion would be to use the meter to tell when the metals havebeen leached out of an ore when doing cyanide or non-cyanide leaching.
Geochemical Meter The Geochemical Meter weighs less than one pound. It’s approximately 4" x 4.5" x 5" in size andcan easily be carried into the field. Most tests should be conducted at home because of the increasedaccuracy of allowing each test to soak for approximately one hour. 10 or 20 or 100 tests can be set up tosoak and then all completed with about I minute per test. Uses 2 standard 9 volt batteries. Severalthousand tests can be accomplished on one set of batteries making tests cost less than 1¢ each. Theactual meter readings are in micro mho's. The scales on the meter represent 0-1, 0-100, 0-1000 and 0-10,000 micro mho's. In some cases a reading as low as 10 can indicate a mineralized vein is nearby. Theinstruction booklet gives complete details in translating the readings into probability of gold existing nearbyand methods of locating same. Action Mining's Geochemical Meter makes geochemical prospecting bothfast and accurate when done according to the 30 page instruction booklet which is included.

How To Use The Meter:Pulverize your rock to 80mesh (about the size oftable salt) or screen anyplacer dirt to 50 mesh.Measure out 10 grams. Mixwith 40 grams of distilledwater and pour into theGeochemical Meter. Pushthe button on the meter andread the needle.Immediately wash out themeter. Testing streamsand rivers is easier. Justpour the water in and pushthe button. NOTE: Touse the Geochemical Meterproperly one must firstdetermine the backgroundreadings for the area inquestion. This isaccomplished in a veryshort time through use ofthe Geochemical Meter.

METAL CLASSIFIER
Impact Mills- run wet or dry material!Our micro-grinding impact mill systems are designed to be fast, efficient,
and long lasting. The freestanding 16” micro-grinding mill is designed forlarger production of ultra-fine pulverization, producing as fine as 400 mesh,
depending upon your material. The 11” bench unit can produce 150 mesh fineness on the first pass!Each mill has 2 outlets for ore removal. These outlets allow you to run your ore wet or dry. For the 11”bench unit, the ore bin, with the vacuum bag attached, collects the dry ultra-fine powder as it exitsthrough the top outlet down through the hose. To run your material wet, use the bottom outlet (cap thetop outlet). Both mills are designed to create minimal dust leakage for environmental air control. The2008 standard units come with carbide tipped hammers for greater wear ability and our -10 meshmetal classifier insert for on-the-spot screening! Available is our -20 mesh metal classifier,optional for a finer grind output.

KIT SUPPLIES1 lb. Cupelling Lead Wool1 lb. Gold ore2 Fire Bricks10 lb. Standard Ore Assay Flux10 lb. Sulfide Ore Assay Flux1 lb. Gold/Silver Smelting Flux8 Crucibles 30 grams20 Cupels 1.5” MgO1 Ceramic Crayon
Simply mix your ore with our Premixed Flux in a Crucible. Place it in the Furnace. In an hour, pour the entire batch intothe Pouring Mold. When it has cooled, break off the lead button that has formed. Place the lead button on a Cupel and backinto the Furnace. Soon any precious metals present will remain in the form of a small bead. All materials and equipment areincluded in this kit so that you can do your own assays and determine the weight of the bead, without other equipment.Professional Assay Kits also available - ask for details! Searching the industry looking for low cost mining laboratory equipment, we are continually testing new items. Now thenecessary equipment can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of past mining laboratories. Where low cost equipment couldnot be found, we have manufactured the equipment ourselves. Action Mining’s Impact Mill is an example of this, selling for afraction of the cost of similar items that do the same job. If you are going into mining or if you are in mining, consider putting in your own lab. A small backyard facility canprevent the loss of a great deal of time and money. We always answer questions on the phone, and will help with setting upyour lab. We believe that a miner without a lab is like a hospital without an X-ray machine. Neither can really tell what ishappening without the proper tools.
WARNING: Assay lead fumes are poisonous.Assay Furnaces must not be used indoors - unless under a ventilated metal hood.
The Original “Beginners Fire Assay Kit”Cat #ASSAYKIT1 Price: $1,499.00 (price subject to change) crating $35.00Since 1981, Action Mining’s Assay Kits have helped many miners with their lab startup.Probably the most important factor of success in prospecting and gold recovery milloperation is the number of assays completed - you can do up to 6 assays at a time with thispopular Kit!
