Minelab new mining division to help small scale Gold miners
The recent discovery of a 5.5kg gold nugget in Ballarat, Australia at 60cms depth by a prospector using a Minelab GPX 5000 hand-held gold detector illustrates the benefit of Minelab’s cutting edge technology.
Adelaide based Minelab, the global leader in gold detection technology and hand-held metal detector devices, has announced the establishment of a Gold Mining division to support artisanal small scale gold miners and prospectors in Tanzania.
The recent discovery of a 5.5kg gold nugget in Ballarat, Australia at 60cms depth by a prospector using a Minelab GPX 5000 hand-held gold detector illustrates the benefit of Minelab’s cutting edge technology in the pursuit of gold.
The Ballarat nugget was valued in excess of $300,000. A statement issued said prospectors across Africa have also tasted success with the GPX5000 gold detector.
Recently a prospector in Mali discovered a 1.2kg gold nugget and in the past few months there were finds in Zimbabwe (1118g), Kenya (550g) and Guinea (276g) using Minelab’s gold detecting technology, it said.
Most small scale gold miners in Tanzania, particularly those working in the Lake Zone, Southern Highlands Zone and in the north eastern area of the country, use traditional methods involving grass and soil identification to detect gold.
Minelab launched its first hand-held gold detector in Australia in 1985 and over the past 28 years has been at the forefront of metal detector design and innovation.
Its new Gold Mining division will provide dedicated support to the worldwide small scale gold mining market and its communities, the statement said.
