Randy Clarkson explains in an interview this week the traditional sluice box will generally turn 20,000 cubic metres of paydirt into one cubic metre of concentrate.

Miners use an array of methods to recover somewhere between 70 and 80 per cent of the gold from that one cubic metre, whether it be a smaller and specialized sluice, a gold wheel, shaking table....

But it’s that 20 or 30 per cent of gold that is too fine to be recovered with conventional methods, even too fine to be captured by traditional hand panning, he says.
