The Alaska Gold Forums

Slatco .... Dan has videos in the Mining Videos thread.

I think Keene figured their 8" dredge had a max capacity of 25 yph. So in real world Alaska conditions I would think about half that.
Miners always have a tendency to over-estimate the yardage they move

Merry Christmas Joe (and everyone else) ....
I hope Santa brings you some new gadgets to play with and try out in 2025 !

I'm hoping for a new 200 size excavator in my stocking this year

Welcome aboard! Great to see you posting. The Fortymile is great country and the Knik is quite a marvel.
Been through there in the summer and winter.

Yes, photo link worked fine.
I noticed it looks like your equipment is on tailings, are you testing tailings? Or some side/bench ground along a worked creek?

Sorry not to see photos or video of the little plant running! What mods are you planning?
How did the testing on the new ground go? Questions .... questions !

Welcome aboard! I'm sure all the members will appreciate any contributions you make.
BTW ... the board can have an issue with posts you make and give an error message when it fact
it will show up in the thread.

Ya, I'd say it represents gravel bars. Indicating possible alluvial gold deposits.

That would certainly be interesting if it happens!

Here is a report from the Seward Penn. Go to the end of the report and it shows the meaning of the geological symbols used. It should help with your map.
