Placer deposits, in addition to their intrinsic value, serve as indicators of areas of potential development of lode deposits. Alaska is known for its very rich Placer Deposits that are being discovered and mined even today. This book is a complete inventory of known placer deposits and prospects in the state along with their history and geologic setting. 14 Regions and 67 mining districts are covered in this book. Originally Published as Bulletin 1374 by the USGS this long out of print publication is now available from Sylvanite Publishing once again.
A Reprint of the Original US Geological Survey Bulletin 1348. This publication is a catalog of locations, geology, and production from the placer districts of New Mexico. Over 40 New Mexico Placer locations covered in this publication.
A century ago, Treadwell, Alaska, was a featured stop on steamship cruises, a rich, up-to-date town that was the most prominent and proud in all Alaska. Its wealth, however, was founded on the remarkably productive gold mines on Douglas Island, and when those caved in and flooded in the early decades of the twentieth century, Treadwell sank into relative obscurity. Treadwell Gold presents first-person accounts from the sons and daughters of the miners, machinists, hoist operators, and superintendents who together dug and blasted the gold that made Treadwell rich. Alongside these stories are vintage photos that capture both the industrial vigor of the mines and the daily lives that made up Treadwell society. The book will fascinate anyone interested in Alaskan history or the romance of gold mining’s past.
Yukon historian Michael Gates unearths the rich origin story of Eagle Mine, the largest gold mine to ever operate in Yukon territory.
This report provides practical, timely information on methods and equipment used in placer gold recovery. Included is detailed information on equipment, practices, recovery factors, efficiency, design, and, where available, costs. Selected gold recovery operations are described in detail. In addition, the reported efficiency and reliability of various types of equipment used today is presented. One notable method not described is the cyanide process, the recovery of gold through leaching with cyanide, a hazardous substance that must be handled with great care. The information presented herein applies to small as well as large placer mining operations. Recreational and independent miners will find information on available equipment and designs with some suggestions for improving recovery. Those intending to mine small to medium-sized placer deposits will find detailed descriptions of suitable equipment and recovery methods. Finally, those interested in byproduct gold recovery from sand and gravel operations...
