Unveiling the Future of Gold Mining: Riverdance Mini Jig Demo at Alaska State Fair!

[@jigglestickdave]

For display purposes such as events like this, consider mounting a mirror over the jig so people can see what's going on in that machine without having to get over the table.👍🏻

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

Great idea! This was our first show and we learned a lot. I appreciate the feedback!

[@johnbowman476]

This would be an awesome replacement for a dry washer in the desert! Love the low water flow recirc system!

[@mineoperator]

I agree 👍

[@markanderson3740]

Not to spread interest too wide, but Dan Hurd's latest vid shows a jig in action at an active placer mine. I have to say the jig is very efficient. I wish you well in your endeavour.

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

Thank you!

[@Americanmadeboxing]

Thank You Very Much For The Exhibition And Demonstration.!

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching!

[@GSProspecting]

Cool setup indeed fam. How much is it fam? Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

Check out rgmak.com for pricing. Thanks for checking it out!

Que maravilha

[@only1muppet]

Another tip to consider is having a graphic made up showing the layers, how it would look if you used a window for a Split View of the action. It would make it easier for some people to grasp the concept. You could print that on corrugated plastic size 24”x 36” at Staples or Office Depot or online. It’s cheap plus durable enough to be moved from show to show. I have a question. Are the shot magnetic?

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

The shot is carbon steel or stainless steel. It is magnetic (can be picked up with a magnet)

[@RICDirector]

It is ferrous, not magnetic. Tbe shot would itself attract ferrous metals, were it magnetic. ;)

[@brianlewis6075]

would this work for other material like saphires ,garnets etc,the pulsating action caught my eye and these gems we use a pulsator action.

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

@@brianlewis6075 absolutely! We often use sapphires to demonstrate how well they separate by specific gravity.

[@silvergirl7810]

Whoever was playing that damn recorder in the background….🫨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@SybilGrace]

They played Zelda music. I was in stitches. Decent recorder performance.

[@charlesreynolds7608]

what is the wieght? looks light weight and easy to get to the claim..packable.

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

16 lbs! The machine, jig shot, pump, battery, and hose weigh less than 30 lbs total 👍🏼

[@eduardoarantes7630]

Isso e um colírio pro meus olhos um sonho em ter um equipamento assim peba que a condução financeiro nao deixa

[@davehigdon2507]

Can the jig be disassembled and put in a backpack?

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

It is small and light enough to pack in “ready” configuration, but you could take the center module and motor assembly out of the frame if you wanted to.

[@GilbertNichols]

Do you have levels built into the frame so that the operator can ensure the machine stays level?

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

No built in level but it’s super easy to set a small level on top to get that done. I get great results just eyeballing level. Jigs are pretty forgiving at this scale.

[@HummelJaeger]

Would it be possible to modify this to work without power? Maybe using mechanical energy from water flowing from a small refillable reservoir mounted above the unit.

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

I have considered a hand crank option, but not water… interesting.

[@FreshUF]

Can this separate quartz from corundum and diamonds?

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

@@FreshUF absolutely. They both have a higher specific gravity than quartz, so they will displace any quartz and be retained. It will be a slow process since the disparity is not as great as with gold.

[@johnhay1377]

Where can I buy this please ? Uk

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

Great question! Visit RGMAK.com and click on the photo of the machine or select store from the navigation menu.

[@pauly51]

8:18 no jet dry?

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

When I recirculate water I use a surfactant like jet dry to keep the water clean but the jig works fine without a surfactant.

[@jamesholland5475]

Looks like a duplex jig only very small they are not new. !!

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

You are correct. Not the first jig, just the first one everyone can afford and anyone can carry around.

[@smokeymacpot76]

for a small portable jig..its pretty 1 of a kind ... i was impressed :)

[@UbuteyAustralia]

Struggle to understand with all the noise in the background

[@sbritton1313]

Make this with a mechanical none electric pump and i eill buy it

ዋው ይሄ ለኔ ቢሆን ዋጋው ግን ስንት ነው ወድሞቼ

[@lonecowboy789]

To me this just seems to sift the material. Both black sands and heavy stones remain with the gold.

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

You aren’t wrong, but allow me to clarify. Mineral jigs separate by size and specific gravity using less water than a sluice box and trapping more gold, especially fine gold. Yes, there will be black sand in the concentrates but exponentially less than with a sluice or some other system and this machine is self cleaning so you don’t have to stop to clean out nearly as often. Plus, you get at least two separate size concentrates (the more stages you use, the more separation and less black sand) so those stones you mentioned will only be in the tray which is limited to about half a pan of material no matter how many buckets or lbs/kilos you run.

[@billhamilton5498]

I had to laugh a little. It is just a duplex jig and I doubt there is any Patten on it that this guy owns. You usually use them for for the first stage of clean up. If you took this to the beach of Nome it would over load it self with black sand in ten minutes. it would be good in the desert with small gravels and rocks but a place to shovel onto and then wash into the jig would be best.

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

Jigs aren’t new, but they’ve never been this portable, and they are now configurable into multiple stages using the same drive system. That has never been done before. I think you’d be surprised just how versatile these machines are. My jigs have been used for clean out in the Bering Sea with loads of the black sand you mentioned, for processing crushed ore to recover gold and scheelite in CA, running beach sand in Kenai, all with outstanding results. Until the screens are impacted with gold, you can keep running and running for hours on end. The screens are now removable so when the tray fills with gold (like during a Bering Sea dredge clean up) it literally takes seconds to swap out and get running again. I hope you’ll check back in as we post more videos this summer and more customers post videos as well.

[@DSilverman59]

I saw absolutely nothing didn't see no gold all I saw was a bunch of rocks and watching pour it all back into a big bucket

[@RiverdanceGoldMining]

@@DSilverman59 sorry you missed it. There was about 2.5 grams in there and it made an impressive showing.

[@DSilverman59]

@@RiverdanceGoldMining you need to make a better video man

Hey mirror and maybe dont make ppl wait 10 mins. 😅
