Multi-Helix Reverse Spiral


Secondary Concentrator
OUR CLAIM: The Martin Multi-Helix Reverse Spiral is the most efficient gold concentrator in the industry - and has the highest concentration ratio AND
highest recovery rate of any gravity concentrator ever built. It has a proven track record, used in a variety of different applications world wide. The Helix
Spiral is a commercial duty concentrator for both alluvial and milled hard rock ores. It can be used as a stand-alone unit or connected in series. Allows for
full adjustment to the ore-matrix or concentrate, yielding a peak concentration ratio with virtually no loss of gold. 99% recovery of all fine gold down to 100
mesh and less, achieving a finish grade, raw gold product ready for smelting. More practical than a finish table due to its simple operation, adjustability to a
wide range of ores including bulk head ore samples, indoor / outdoor use and portability.

Versatility
For processing primary sluice
concentrate, primary jig concentrate and
centrifuge concentrate. Adaptable
applications for primary or secondary
recovery. Fully adjustable, make "loose"
and/or "tight" cuts, adjusts to a wide
range of ores and concentrates. You can
re-concentrate heavy gold concentrate to
achieve a smelting grade product. Also
great for bulk sampling and testing head
ores. Continuous feed or batch feed.
Portability allows you to move around
your site or work off site (indoors or
outdoors). Classify any heavy metal or
heavy mineral, barite, scheelite, sulfides,
tin, galena, bullets etc. Excellent for
mercury recovery and tailings projects.
All considered, the Helix Spiral is the
most versatile and practical piece of
mining equipment you will ever own!

We are expert designers and fabricators of a complete line of commercial ore processing equipment for both alluvial and hard rock applications. And as
miners, we understand the need for rugged built - for maximum life and high efficiency - and a simplified operation that puts the gold in your hands at the end
of the day. Equally important is to spec the recovery circuit to suit your particular site and your particular ore matrix.

Mining fact:
The ore body dictates the design of the equipment - the equipment should never dictate how to mine the ore body

Low-G Horizontal Centrifuge


Primary Concentrator

The Low-G Horizontal Centrifuge functions as a primary concentrator for


classified head ores and is known for its high volume production, zero loss,
fine gold recovery. It can run on turbid water and is adaptable to any mining
operation. Just plug into the output discharge of your existing trommel or
screen deck classifier with a simple feed trough / tube. "Hands off" operation no adjustments are necessary while running, only a proper slurry feed. A
versatile piece of recovery equipment in any mine operation, multiple
Centrifuges can be connected parallel for higher volume throughput. It is so
adaptable and efficient that we incorporate single and twin units for primary
recovery in all of our mobile placer plants.
HOW IT WORKS: The Centrifuge is a low G-Force, batch type Concentrator,
designed to operate with clean or turbid water, which makes it ideal for
recycle / recirculation applications. It is a continuous feed (water and ore) Concentrator and batches the concentrate during the run
process. In operation at a specific G-Force, the internal chambers fill with lighter material, which form soft fluidized "beds". Gold and
heavy minerals and metals are forced to the walls of the chambers where they are trapped. As the slurry continuously enters the
Centrifuge, the heavier particles displace the lighter particles. At startup, material starts collecting in the first set of chambers. When the
first chambers are full, the material passes to the second chamber, and so on until the Centrifuge is full. Under continuous run throughout
the day, the heavy particles are displacing the lighter particles. At the end of the process day,
the heavy concentrate is cleaned out by simply decreasing the speed and flushing the
concentrate into a receiver. In most cases with typical alluvial and hard rock ores, a properly
sized Centrifuge will give you a full days production before it requires flushing.

RECOVERY: If you can pan it we can recover it." If you can see it with the naked eye, the Low-G Centrifuge will recover it. A skilled
panner can recover free gold down to 100 mesh and our Low-G Centrifuge has equal ability for free gold recovery. However, in a
production environment, recovery rates using gravity separation methods for gold particles down to 200-300 mesh, begin to decline with
any gravity separation method. We claim 99% recovery of free gold down to 100 mesh and 80% to 90% recovery down to 200 mesh.
Recovery rates of free-gold particles at 300 mesh minus start getting out of
reach of physical concentration means and require chemical separation
methods. 300 mesh gold is almost colloidal and tends to stay in suspension in
the turbid water. Even in clear water, this ultra fine gold stays in suspension
almost indefinitely in a production environment. Claims of high recovery rates
of 300 mesh gold in a production environment using physical (gravity) means
are simply not true.
Water consumption is based on a capacity range - and a typical slurry ratio
between 4:1 and 6:1 (water/material). However, actual water consumption
depends on the amount of water it takes to wash a particular ore which could
be as little as 200 gpm for cleaner placer ores. The 30 Centrifuge has a
maximum feed rate of 25-30 yards/hour of screened material.
Maximum water capacity not to exceed 500 gpm when processing
heavy clay based ores.

Dont be fooled by their size. The MPP-10 and MPP-25 are commercial duty production and exploration plants, completely self
contained and portable. All you need is a backhoe, a water source and some gold bearing ore! Excellent recovery of fine gold with our
proprietary Low-G Horizontal Centrifuge. Production with typical alluvial ores would produce 2-3 five gallon buckets of a rich primary
concentrate with the MPP-10 model and 4-5 buckets with the MPP-25 model. An average concentration ratio of 1500:1.
Hands off operation. Unique feed system with vibrating, wet hopper for an even, continuous flow onto the screen deck classifier. 3/8
minus material passes through the screen and gravity fed to the centrifuge concentrator. Gold and heavy metals/minerals are
concentrated (trapped) inside the centrifuge which is cleaned out at the end of the day. These plants will run equally well on clean or
turbid water, perfect for water recycle applications. Complete package makes for a lower overall investment, single operator - very
practical for small commercial scale production and exploration.

Mobile Placer Plants


Unique in the industry is our line of innovative Mobil Placer Ore Processing Plants. These plants are particularly versatile and economical
for alluvial mining projects. Well suited for production and exploration - stationary or mobile applications - very compact and portable.
Capacities ranging from 25-100 cubic meters / hour with continuous feed from either a backhoe or excavator working alongside feeding ore
direct into the plants hopper. Our typical design uses a vibrating, wet hopper that flows onto the vibrating screen deck classifier which
gravity feeds into the Low-G Horizontal Centrifuge for primary recovery. At the end of the process day, the primary concentrate can then be
processed with the Helix Spiral for final concentrating. A feed hopper wash plant, ore classifier, with primary and secondary concentration.
A complete system.
These plants are built on a tow-able trailer frame and include onboard power, water pump and electric/hydraulic drive. They are completely
self contained. Their mobility is specially suited to move up and down the alluvial plane, moving the plant to the ore instead of excavating
and hauling ore to a stationary plant. Less support machinery dedicated to excavate and haul ore means less capital investment and lower
mine operation costs. The plant can shift position on the fly taking only 15-20 minutes to reposition the plant using the 4 leveling jacks.
Great for exploration programs and/or production. Perfect for fluctuating high and low water conditions due to daily or seasonal rains. Site
reclamation is more economical, head-ore tailings go right back in the digging trenches during or shortly after the process day instead of
mounting up at multiple excavation sites.
These plants are virtually "plug and play", minimal assembly required and can be shipped overseas in a standard sea container.

2012 Pricing:
Three Models: Each plant incorporates either a single or twin Low-G Horizontal Centrifuge for primary concentration, onboard diesel power
source, hydraulic drive system, wet dump adjustable feed hopper, vibrating screen deck classifier, water pump, tailings troughs, primary
