Hey Steppe,
Had an idea as I was reading through the last post the other day ....chuckling at the flee of bowlers..... When the thought occured to me that maybe that is an opportunity for the company that is being missed! What if the dredge company actually set up to hire these locals.......who obviously are in need of something to do. Now maybe hire isn't quite the right word.....maybe contract labor would be more accurate. Set up a "bowling" area and give em' each a cut or % to process those nasty ol' gold robbin clay balls for the company! Course' the security gaurds will need a replacement activity to make up for the loss of excersise! Just a thought......ifin it works out for the company you can send me a cut for consultations!! Thanks for the pics CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

This is not an old picture in the USA it is of one of the 6 giant gold dredges in Mongolia. Its what we call the 'North Dredge' of Shijir Alt company, strictly speaking its Shijir Alt #1. Thanks to Golden Tiger Corporation for the picture. Its a bucket-line dredge built in Irkutz in Siberia by IZTM who built all 6 of the Mongolian Dredge Fleet and also built the entire Russian Dredge Fleet and they include not only gold dredges but also a few platinum and diamond dredges. Just wondering, would it be possible to visit those dredges? |

Anything new to these dredges?

And I'd better show you some buckets on a line to show these really are bucket-line dredges and so do their own digging and feeding unlike the dragline-fed Snowstorm Dredge (as I understand it?). Here are the buckets of the Bayangol Dredge. I may not understand the whole concept, but I pray to God I never see one of these in Colorado. I would have to protest. |

Hi Silky,
Not sure why you'd want to protest this type of machine in Colorado, it's actually a good way to extract placer gold from the alluvial deposits without chemicals. They only use water when working and the material thrown out (gravels) are in fact a viable commodity to sell for other uses such as road building (pavement making) as well as concrete mixes or river bed stones for non water/zero landscaping. A ready to use washed product as a by product of the operation, that includes all the sand and gravels. I'd love to see one start up again in Colorado and hope they'd have jobs open, I'd like to try working on one!! Tony Beets may be a little hard to work for though! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
