The Manado Method (English Version)

This video shows a environmentally-friendly method of gold recovery that can eliminate the use mercury in artisanal gold mining. It shows how gold recovery and incomes can be greatly improved while also saving the environment and protecting community health.

Excellent work. 7 years later you people are educating other people around the world. Greetings from Kenya and thank you for the video.

[@ElenaHaskins]

This is Brilliant!!!! Plant-based gold particle filtration. Non-toxic. Kudos to those who use this process & are educating others.

[@bhoyetbabalque8817]

northern filipino (like me) used that kind of method since i was not born its pure natural way of recovering gold

ijok in indonesia is hijok here in the Philippines. we use it to make brooms.

[@Vspeed1000]

The Manado Method=Golden fleece technique often used, often forgotten and new discovered, it does work with several materials but is not well known in the world. Nice to see it again in use it was well known in the acient times.

[@olyoldastal2960]

There are many ijuk in the philippines ijuk is kaong tree in mindanao we use it

[@beehumble7623]

In the Philippines...they should be educated about this method...

[@robr4596]

Dish soap is what most of us use in the U.S. to break the surface tention of the water while panning cons. Soap stops the floating of fine, or what we call flour gold.

[@666hobart]

@12:21 tell them boys to put some jet dry or dish washing soap in there to break the water tension and make that gold sink and not float.

[@lexderp2766]

666hobart eyyyy I get that

[@DominicUbble]

If a few drops of detergent are added to the clean up bath where the concentrates are cleaned up it breaks the surface tension of the water making the water "wetter" so the small gold flakes don't float off

[@jadekayak01]

Miners moss is used in the west,a vinyl loop marrying named after moss used exactly the same way.

[@Ken_James_SV]

Well, it's been 4 years now since this Video was posted. Has the Manado Method become popular with all the workers? or have some held on to the Mercury method? It would be interesting to know if they all converted, and remained healthy, and more profitable for all their hard work.

[@TheJustinhcase]

Inefficient method for the fine particle size they are producing down to 0.5 microns I would think considering the smooth lining of the mill jars..Don't send a white chap all the way there.Just send a good quality shaker table and some one who can assay material.One unit could run continually and do the work of ten mill plants of that size.Sluices are only effective down to 5 microns if you are lucky.

[@kmmining1359]

They still need the mill plants to create the slurry to feed the table. having said that, I totally agree, shaker table all the way, less hassle, more efficient and cleaner.

[@imammesum]

yup thats how greedy people think... u destroy the planet coz u want more.?

[@HarrisMadden]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@kmmining1359]

A good shaker table will negate the use of mercury and increase yield.

[@rijalzaelani8932]

Music is good

[@whippetengineeringcom]

Very interesting. Using Ijuk, is like using Miner's Moss, but cheaper and sustainable. Keep up the good work

[@BeerHits]

whippetengineering.com -- Very good to completely avoid mercury, but then with the borax, he could breathe in the dangerous plastic (bag) vapor fumes with his face right over the gas torch!

[@masterVideoContent]

it is the same thing. mining moss used to be REAL MOSS!!!

[@simonphoenix3789]

how do you know this is more effectively than the mercury method? I mean, it would be great if miners switching to something without mercury, but how can you convince them when they are so stuck on mercury being integral to the process? also, are these mats better than commercially produced mats? I would think those are purpose built for gold recovery and would thus perform better than natural materials.

[@mubinjayadi5980]

Good...keep your healt from mercury

[@slametriadi1327]

It was in my hometown, we are still looking for the best way for gold processing.

I would love to bring some of these smart hard working men to Canada to gold mine..They would be complete assets to any operation...

[@patricknepton8602]

where in canada your mining for gold ?

[@countmeout4153]

And they will work for $50 a week! 60+ hours a week! Feed them rice and pine cones. Make millions off them.

Great job! will share it to protect our environment..

[@LifescapadeTravelTours]

You guys are wonderful and peaceful miners. From now on we will try to use Ijuk. But i am not sure if we have that exact palm tree here in philippines. We have coconut that also has that fibre. only it is brown in color. But the Ijuk look so thick. We would like to bring this message across to Philippines miners. Terima Kasih

[@Ken_James_SV]

Charro, you can also use Hessian bags. I think it is called 'Jute' in Philippines. Here in Australia we just call them Hessian bags or Potato Sacks.

[@MrMickeycase]

You can got ijuk from palm tree

[@geraldoferreira4715]

Parabéns pelo vídeo, é show de bola.

[@fixtable]

great inspiration for others! ty

[@MikeyMystery45]

Interesting video.

[@hotspark78]

What if your country doesnt have ijuk

[@chrisackerley1842]

Absolutely brilliant! Good for you! Some bright young fellow with an entrepreneurial drive to him needs to find a local alternative in America for the palm fiber your Indonesians use, and then market that fiber to miners here in the States. Synthetics such as miner's moss are too expensive. I'm thinking of the fiber used in evaporative coolers. Something like that ....

[@AUMINER1]

This is not a practical solution. gravity methods only capture 50% of the gold

[@ZainalAbidin-yu6ph]

[@ronaldrvvanhook1437]

Outdoor carpeting (Astro turf), miners moss, burlap, ribbed matting... Pressed under expanded metal in a sluice... All the same technique.

I doubt that sluice box is going to give better recovery

[@berlindafan9830]

yes, sluice box is a better choice

[@pulesjet]

People will still be using Mercury simply because it's more efficient collecting the Micron size gold. The way they're using this plant fiber is no more efficient then synthetic Rubber Matting. Even the use of Borax does not do what the Mercury can do. Mercury Bonds at the Molecular levels and aid in the collection of the Micron Gold. The only way to do this job without Mercury is to simply slow down the process and take more time in the settling of the Gold. Time is money to these folks and they just don't want to do it that way. Good luck coaxing them out of Mercury Use.

That's not how Bob vila does it

wow thats cool , the better way :)

ahha why not just buy some miners moss or a gold mat.. they last forever and are designed to catch 95% of gold ahaha how silly
