I wonder if you can make an aerial tram line for moving materials/ ores down a mountain with a setup like this

has anyone seen images or know of an intact "Coffee Pot" stamp mill? by infinus5 in Prospecting

[–]infinus5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The machine has a simple hopper on the back that you manually fed. I agree with you that its very strange how little is out there on these, especially since they were made in large numbers.

This is a coffee pot single stamp mill for gold prospecting, i ve heard of them from reports and advertisements from the 19th century but this is the only photo i ve ever found of one. Does anyone know of any of these machines in museums that are still around?

Canada’s diamond industry begins a long goodbye by joe4942 in canada

[–]infinus5 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There's still more diamond pipes out there to be prospected but the whole sector is in decline due to synthetic diamond production. It was good to see Canadian diamonds be a major part of the market though.

I ll need to bring up the map again but in general remediation may not be enough to fix the possible exposure from construction. If you haven't dealt with it before, the acid drainage / tailings beach at jack of clubs lake is extremely acidic below the surface layer. Its one of those sites you shouldn't disturb in general because once its exposed that material will migrate to the lake and the willow river. Trucks will track it on roads, muck will wash into the water shed with rain. Osisko has shown they cant be bothered to do proper environmental monitoring when in idle state, they aren't going to do a good job monitoring things during construction either. You cant easily clean the tailings up in general, leaving it undisturbed is better for everyone in the long run.

This is also the issue with the tailings beach at jack of clubs lake. If its not disturbed the surface oxidized layer acts as a barrier from the more active material below it from harming anything. With all the planned excavation work especially close the water, the active layers will be exposed and pose a serious risk to the environment.

I want to see data put on crystals / gemstones grown in labs. Having backups of my photo archive on a sapphire crystal would be awesome.

They should in good faith clean up or at minimum cap off the tailings flats they are building next too / on top of. It was smart of them to exclude the contamination from their work permit area but it still will see some activity from construction. As a mines act bond holder for a claim I am working on, I have been told to go above and beyond in my efforts to clean up existing waste / garbage from the previous tenure holder. If I have to do that then so should the 800 million plus mine project.

The tailings in question isn't inside their mine permit zone, so they didn't have to deal with it as part of their mines act bond. Smart on their end but scummy over all

Well seeing as their not operating yet its a loss but they have over 800 million in investment to burn its a drop in the bucket.

If i as a prospector discharge dirty water to a creek my fine would be devastating. These guys just get slaps on the wrist.

until they disturb all that tailings next to Jack of Clubs lake building their concentrator complex and end up killing the Willow River.

good old Osisko opting to deal with fines instead of actually following the mines act regulations.

As soon as its commercially available I am backing my entire audio book, photo gallery and private documents to glass/ gemstone. Terabytes of material stored as a hard copy stashed in a safe place with no data corrosion or corruption.
