West Coast Placer
We really love placer exploration. Placer mining has always involved innovation met by necessity. From the rocker box to the water monitor, if there's a way to get more gold with less money placer miners will find it. That's what led to the development of our bedrock mapping system and the other techniques used by West Coast Placer.
Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration of the Gold Bearing Placer
The gold is released by weathering to be carried down by gravity and hydraulic action to some favorable point of deposition and are classified depending upon provenance and sorting in depositional environments. The meandering of the Blue Nile River is expected to host gold-rich placer deposits, while it drains gold-bearing rocks.

Stream sediment geochemistry in mineral exploration
Many stream sediment samples have been sieved in the lab to <177 μ m (−80 mesh) and that historically was a mineral exploration standard sieve fraction (Garrett 2019). In the case of gold exploration, a sufficiently representative raw sediment sample can be processed either by gravity separation or by a BLEG method.
