Sacre-Coeur Minerals issued a press release recently talking about gold production increases at their properties in  North-central Guyana. More specifically, they are now using a Falcon Concentrator in their refinery which, along with other process equipment, allows them to efficiently produce relatively high purity dore bullion ingots without the use of mercury. 

"New equipment in the refinery, which processes mine concentrates, includes a Falcon centrifugal concentrator and attendant screens and materials handling equipment, final gravity cleaning equipment and an electronically controlled smelting furnace. The new equipment, which has ample capacity to process all mine concentrate produced, enables the Company to efficiently produce relatively high purity dore bullion ingots without the use of mercury. Use of secondary and tertiary gravity concentration to “clean” the mine concentrate has shown that slightly more than 50% of the recovered gold particles are smaller than 100 mesh (150 microns), with more than half of this fraction consisting of particles smaller than 100 microns." - Sacre-Coeur Minerals, October 2011

The high G-force used by the Falcon Concentrator enhances and magnifies the separation between heavy and light particles, especially in the difficult to recover fine size ranges. We have seen time and time again how critical high G-force can be when targeting the recovery of fine gold particles, specifically below 100 microns.

As free gold becomes finer and conventional gravity recovery becomes more difficult, Sepro is glad to work with all of our industry partners to improve gold recoveries and decrease costs.
