Gold placer claims are used to mine for precious minerals, especially gold. This may be done by using open pit or any other surface level mining technique.
Hardrock or Placer?
Placer mining
Sluices were first used in the alluvial mining of gold placer deposits during the California Gold Rush.
The mining method that uses water power to separate gold from dirt is called placer mining. In placer mining, water is used to wash away the lighter materials, leaving behind the heavier gold particles. This method is commonly used in riverbeds, streams, and beach deposits where gold is found.
Placer mining was the most widely used method because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors. If you choose placer mining, the crusher and ball mill is common. You could get primary gold production from rock. If you want to get more pure gold production, you should choose other equipment, such as flotation cell, desorption electrolysis equipment and leaching agitation tank and carbon screen. There are equipment that used for mining in xinhaiindustry.com. You could learn more.
You can go placer mining wherever gold is found in placer deposits. For gold, I'd suggest looking in Alaska, or California, or Arizona, though many other states also have gold in at least small amounts if you're willing to put in the effort. Montana is the state if you want to placer mine for sapphire.
