Why recovery gets simpler, not more complex...

Positive means of recovering microscopic gold using mechanical means! Standing waves, skin effect, inertia, and most
importantly specific gravity, are all used in the recovery of gold, platinum, scheelite, copper, zinc oxide, and many other
minerals from their ores.
Replaces: centrifugal concentrators, flotation cells,
amalgamation, leaching, jigs, and a great deal more - Environmentally safer to use!
In today’s environmentally-conscious world, extreme attention is being paid to operations using “chemical means”, in-
cluding mercury, or even non-hazardous chemicals in the recovery of precious metals. Worldwide companies earnestly keep
their operations clean and safe, as today's miners are just as concerned about contamination as the general public.
Action Mining, many years ago, joined the ranks of concerned miners and mining companies referencing the use of
chemical means to extract precious metals. We felt that even the best concepts needed application, thus the Micron Mill Wave
Table was born. The mining industry can now eliminate worries regarding hazardous products or waste material. Action
Mining’s Micron Mill systems use only water, and possibly some biodegradable surfactant. Again, everything is environmen-
tally safe, thus avoiding "chemical permits", arguments with government agencies, hazardous waste disposal costs, and most
importantly, the headaches
connected with chemical ex-
traction of gold, or other met-
als. (See inside for more

shows the wave 2 theory of
the table. Separating by specific gravity, the sand forms in riffles directly
Simple operation - under the standing wave of water. Even light blond sand forms riffles, not
• adjustable water flow washing away. Due to the Standing Wave principle, the heaviest particles
• adjustable table top bump remain through the low motion area of the Standing Wave. The wave itself
• adjustable table tilt moves; the water directly beneath the wave tends to stand still. The further
from the top of the wave, the less motion is in the water. Thus, the heavier
the particle the deeper it will ride and the less motion it will see. The “Riffle
Pump” attached to the top bar of the Riffle Bar assists in dropping ‘float gold’
to the table surface, enabling a faster production run without fear of losing
gold or other metals that normally would be lost on most tables.
In view of the fact that the table top moves back and forth, the micron particles of heavy material (gold, PGMs, scheelite,
copper, zinc oxide, etc.) sink to the bottom under the wave. The finer particles (-600 mesh and smaller) drop into a Skin
Effect area. That area is directly against the skin of the table top. The water in this area does not move with the flowing
water but rather sits almost still. The motion of the table causes this “Skin Effect” water to move in the opposite direction of
the flow. Thus the fine gold or mineral moves ‘up’ the table and falls into the concentrate trough. The gold and/or
concentrates can then be washed automatically into a concentrate bucket or a security safe, or vacuumed off the table.
Ore should be classified according to size for efficient results.
The Secret lies at the Heart of the System:

Superior, top-of-the-line linear ball bearings: responsible for the precision back and forward
motion of the table top, preventing up and down vibration that causes gold or heaviest materials to
break loose and wash away. The bearings move back and forth on the 5/8” steel rods.
Highest Quality Fiberglass Top: vacuum-formed, sealed fiberglass top with a 1” thick base is built
to give several years of satisfactory results, conducive to not warping (store out of direct sunlight).
The finish blue color has been proven to be the best color contrast for gold viewing.
Rubber Matting: a recovery enhancing feature of the M10 production unit that catches and allows extremely fine particles
to travel safely up the table (slurry ore flow runs parallel to grooves), allowing a faster production run of coarser material!
Never available before, you can now run -40 mesh material without loss of microscopic gold or other product!!
The Micron Mill Wave Table can be fed from an overhead tank, slurry fed by conveyor belts, or by pipe, depending
on your setup requirements. Ask our design engineer for assistance. On-site consultation and assisted setup is available.
The Micron Mill Wave Table is beyond question a new development
in the recovery of micron particles or minerals of all kinds. This table can be
adjusted to separate virtually anything since it cleanly separates by
specific gravity. Under most circumstances it will replace flotation cells as
well as other concentrating tables. Our theory of operation and use differs
quite widely from other concentration equipment. The inertia bump is in one
direction and the flow of precious metals is in the opposite direction. The
recovery of micron particles as small as 5 microns (approx. 10,000 mesh) is
happening daily!

recovery of precious metal particles. Until the present, there has been no
mechanical method of recovering particles of gold finer than 150 mesh (106
microns). The only workable methods for micron gold particles smaller than 150
mesh have been leaching and flotation. Now, recovery of finer particles can be
accomplished without the environmental problems associated with leaching
and flotation. Notably, the cost factor of the Micron Mill Wave Table recovery Light sands at top of picture, black sands in middle,

Our Production Size M10

Table (8 tph)):
left - 2008 MODEL has a solid metal
feed trough with built in liner.
•A production table for making a

primary concentrate of a 10-20X ratio
which would then be fed onto your
finish table (M7) to make the high
grade concentrate. The screening of
ore is not as critical as for a finish
table, thus you could run -40 mesh
material. The optional rubber matting
ensures fine particles of gold are not
lost in wider mesh ranges. The Riffle
Pump on the Riffle Bar still keeps
float gold dropping to the surface of the table, and moving up to the concentrate outlet.
•Operating on the same principles as the 1 tph unit, using six 1” superior linear bearings for
smooth action, and a hydraulics drive system to ensure steady production runs.
•The positive Hydraulic Drive System works at a constant motion so the amount of feed to the
table can vary without a critical change in the mechanical separation process on the table. (In
other systems, if your feed changes, critical changes occur that alter the separation process,
thereby losing precious metals.)
•The Hydraulic System is an independent closed loop setup ensuring 1) no contamination in
your hydraulics and 2) no worry of oil or hydraulic fluids to mess up your table runs. Keeping the
Hydraulic System in a separate area allows for a safer, more comfortable atmosphere free from
heavy, noisy ore-moving equipment. You are therefore safekeeping the controls from
unnecessary/unwanted adjustments.
•With this table, slime or recycled water can be used as long as it doesn’t plug up holes-
still no float gold will be lost!

(concentrating approximately 1
ton of ore per hour), the M7 can
be used as a Finish Table producing a very high grade
concentrate of precious metals. Gold will separate efficiently
and at a high percentage from black sands - which is a
statement unheard of in mechanical separation considering
the specific gravity of black sands and gold are so close in
proximity! This Table will separate them!
As a Production Table, the same table that is used for
production can be used to clean the cons. The concentrates
produced can be reloaded onto the table for the finish
(cleanup) and can give almost pure gold or other metal when
the water flow is properly adjusted.
As a Finish Table, the concentrates coming off of the
Production Table can be run directly onto this table, offering a
very efficient system for a mill operation.

“Mike, the two M7 Micron Wave tables that we are using have performed flawlessly for about a year now. Due to the density of
the feed and the continuous operation, we had to make a few very minor changes to the tables. One table is being used to recover metal
values that our other recovery processes missed. The other M7 is being used to clean up the mids from a full size Diester table. Both tables
have been running 24 /7 since 1996 with no breakdowns! The M7 tables are very efficient as far as low water consumption and are able
to recover metal in the range of 5 to 44 microns, something that our large tables have trouble doing. The tables are very operator friendly
and inexpensive to maintain. I enjoyed working with you and the folks at Action Mining and look forward to doing so in the future.” Bill
McCuskey, Asst. Process Engineer, Kennametal Inc. , Nevada
“The M7 is an amazing piece of equipment. It does everything you said it would .. It now makes a lot of other pieces of
equipment obsolete and is going to change the way we (sample) the ground. We are seeing stuff that we could not get with the pan. Even
using the table to say yes/no as to if its worth sending any sample to the lab justifies its use.” Australia
“I ran the old type tables and they just frankly, didn’t inspire me. Your table does! Not only is the theory fabulous...it makes the
operator strive to get the BEST separation possible. So...not only do you have a successful run...you feel damn good about it” Cheryl C,

Basic Fire Assay Instructions

1. Be sure that your ore is a representative sample of your ore vein. Take chips and rocks from the entire surface
of the vein and drill the vein if possible.
2. Pulverize the ore into a powder (80 mesh or finer) and stir the powdered ore thoroughly.
3. Measure out 29.16 grams of ore (this is an Assay Ton).
4. Mix 90 grams (3 ounces) of the proper assay formula with the ore and place into a 30 gram crucible. (See page
13 for instructions concerning the proper assay formula and page 14 for a picture of a crucible).
5. Furnace crucible at 1850°-2000°F for 45 minutes to 1½ hours (The crucible must remain in the furnace for at
least 45 minutes after the furnace reaches temperature - until it is done & quits smoking).
6. Using tongs remove the crucible from the furnace and pour its entire contents into a pouring mold. (See page
12 for a picture of tongs and page 20 for a picture of a pouring mold).
7. When the slag in the pouring mold has cooled, there will be a lead button at the bottom of the slag. Break this
loose from the slag.
8. Pound the lead button with a hammer until the slag is broken off. Most assayers pound the lead button into a
cube. A small amount of slag will adhere to the lead as powder. This will give no trouble.
9. Place the lead on a cupel (See page 14 for picture) and place the cupel into the furnace at 1750°F. until the
lead has all been absorbed into the cupel or volatilized into the air, leaving the gold and silver as a small bead in
the cupel.
10. Weigh the bead, or measure its size. (See page 17 for picture of a balance; or if you measure the bead, (See
page 16 for a picture of a comparator and a chart to determine the weight from the size of the bead.) NOTE: For
each milligram your bead weighs, there is 1 ounce of gold and silver in your ore. But remember at this point the
bead is gold and silver so you must go on to step 11 before you will know the exact gold (and silver) content.
11. You must now determine how much gold and silver is in the bead. If there is any slight yellow coloring in
the bead, it is at least 77% gold. Dark yellow indicates up to 99% gold. If the bead is silver color then it should
be dropped into (25% nitric + 75% distilled water) warm nitric solution. (See page 16 for details on determining
the gold and silver content of the assay beads.
WARNING: Assay lead fumes are poisonous. An assay furnace must not be used indoors
unless under a ventilated metal hood.
NOTE: Wear gloves and goggles when doing assays.
Goggles or face shield must be worn at all times. Hot slag can spatter.
Always add ACID TO WATER, not water to acid!
Please refer to any of our books or our video on assaying for complete instructions!

These furnaces have 4” thick side walls, floors, and ceilings. The frame is built
of sturdy angle iron, and the outside is stainless steel. Plain and simple to
rebuild the insides, also replace elements. Inserting crucibles or cupels is
done easily, without heavy heat loss... These are some of the reasons we’ve
been selling this furnace, almost exclusively, for the past 20 years. The
temperature rating is 2300° F. continuous operation, which means you will
have a little extra margin for those unusual experiments. We have seen some
of these furnaces that have lasted for many years. The extra thick walls make
this furnace very energy efficient. Our belief is that you can not find a better
built electric furnace for assay purposes at any price. All models are furnished
with a pyrometer (temperature readings). With a little practice the operator
can set the control to maintain any given temperature. For those who want
Automatic Control, that too is available on all models. Temperature is
maintained within 2° using the Automatic Control.

The Science of Cupelling
Cupelling is a part of assaying, however it can also be used at any
time to prove or disprove precious metals. In other words,
cupelling can be used as a mini-assay. If you have anything in
which you believe might be gold, silver or platinum, it is simple to)
grind a small amount of your substance, mix it with some
powdered lead or wrap some lead wool around it, put it in a cupel
and place it in the furnace. In about 40 minutes you will have a
bead of precious metals or no bead as the case may be. This has
been an absolute test of gold, silver, and platinum for over 2000 years.
The heated lead oxidizes creating hot litharge, a liquid that destroys all minerals except the precious metals.
Everything is destroyed and dissolved and the precious metals are drawn into the lead. The cupel acts as a
blotter for the litharge and soon all of the lead has oxidized leaving only the precious metals as a bead on the
center of the cupel.

Scorification Assay One usually works with 1/10th Assay Ton (2.9 grams) when doing scorification assays. It is a cheap and
quick assay, but it is also less accurate than the standard fire assay. Nevertheless many assayers use scorification often. It can also be used in
conjunction with a standard assay to increase the accuracy. Our Assay Manual gives complete details; however, the instructions below are
complete enough for scorification assays.
1) Measure 2.9 grams of ore.
2) Use approximately 30 grams of lead. Email for current catalog,
3) Place the ore and the lead in a Scorification (Roasting) Dish. prices or if you have ques-

turn to lead oxide and saturate the ore.
6) Ore slag will form a crust around the edge of the lead pool.
7) Finally the slag will close over the lead pool. It is now time to pour the entire contents of the dish into a Pouring Mold.
8) Wait until the slag has cooled; then break the slag off the lead button and pound the lead into a cube to remove the remaining slag.
9) Cupel the lead button.

The Parting and Drying Dish is a necessary part of the assay. The gold bead from the cupel is placed in the dish along with nitric
acid and water. Use distilled water only, 2 parts water to 1 part acid. Heat on a hot plate or over an alcohol flame. Heat long enough to
permit fumes to rise from the acid. If the bead begins to bubble and react, allow the action to continue until there is more action. If the bead
simply discolors after the first fumes, add enough water to cool the acid and stop any further action. Compare the color of the bead to the
color chart below to determine gold content.
If the bead bubbled, when the bubbling stops, pour off the diluted acid carefully and add distilled water and pour off several times.
Finally drain the water off and dry over heat. The black residue left is the gold (99% pure). It will turn gold color when annealed at 1000°F
for 3 minutes. This gold is carefully removed from the parting dish and weighed.
If the bead did not bubble and you wish amore accurate indication than the color chart, then the answer is to inquart with silver, Just add 4
times as much silver by weight as there is gold in the bead to the bead with about 10 times as much lead and re-cupel. The silver will alloy
with gold and allow the nitric to dissolve the silver leaving the gold. Be sure to weigh the bead before adding the silver, then when you have
weighed the gold you will know how much silver actually came out of the assay.

with 1/4" ore. This unit will pulverize enough ore for an assay in 3 minutes. It takes several
passes to achieve 200 to 350 mesh, which is finer than
talcum powder.

MCCs (Mercury Cleaning & Charging Chemicals™)
MCC-40™
A chemical compound for cleaning mercury. Cleans even the dirtiest mercury, handles floured mercury, usually
eliminates retorting, and is easily applied. It also charges the mercury in the opposite polarity of precious metals and
greatly improves amalgamation. 1 pound of MCC-40™ powder cleans 75-150 lbs. of mercury.

MCC-43™
Used to super-charge the mercury with zinc and other chemicals just before putting
the mercury through the Air Press to recover micron gold from the mercury that
might otherwise go through the Air Press filter. You will get more gold out of your
mercury. 1 lb Cat#MCC43-1 $ 22.00 with instructions
5 lbs Cat#MCC43-5 $ 35.00
MCC-50™ for Charged Mercury™
Charged Mercury turns mercury into the negative pole of a battery. The precious
metals in the ore then become the positive pole of the battery and when they touch the mercury, a high current flows
that is equivalent to many hundreds of amps per sq. ft. This powerful current cleans the precious metals and covers
them with mercury. This process will often work to make gold, silver and platinum amalgamate when they will not do so
under other methods. A very important point! We have received many reports that ores, (even those that do
amalgamate easily), have greater yield of precious metals by using Charged Mercury™. One pound of MCC-50™ will
charge 16 lbs. of mercury 3 times.

Electrolytic Recovery Systems

For a hundred years at least, the recovery of precious metals
from leach liquids has always been accomplished when the liquid
has been filtered from the ore. The removal of the liquid from the
ore has always been the most expensive operation when
handling leaches and the filtration equipment has always been
the most expensive equipment in the entire mining operation.
System III™ changed that. System III™ recovers the precious
metals directly from the ore totally eliminating the filtration
system. System III™ is a method of electrolytic precipitation, not
electroplating. The plate (cathode) is contained within a 4 micron
polypropylene filter bag that sits in the ore/leach solution.
Particles in the ore cannot penetrate the filter bag but the ions,
which are really a part of the liquid, move freely through the bag
and deposit the precious metals on the stainless steel cathode.
System III™ is an efficient system. It works well, but like all other
leaching systems it will not work on some ores and most ores 5 GALLON SYSTEM III
take some time and work and experimenting to make them work
with any system. If one is willing to take the time he will probably

be rewarded with the best and the lowest cost system available. When you’ve completed your testing
phase, you can make a larger system based upon your own results and budget.

The presence of geochemical haloes has been known and used for 59 years by many mining companies.
All deposits of precious metals have associated geochemicals. Precious metals do not exist in deposits
without geochemicals that are to some extent, water soluble. These geochemicals always wick their way
out through solid rock and dirt over thousands of years. Such chemicals are detectable by our
Geochemical Meter.
So when looking for gold, don't look for gold, look for geochemicals. The geochemicals spread out several
hundred feet while the gold stays hidden. Most of the gold at the surface has already been located. Now
the Geochemical Meter gives independent prospectors and miners higher technology for locating the 85%
to 90% of gold that has not yet been found because it is beneath the ground surface.
In the past few years several of the larger mining companies have become discouraged with geochemical
prospecting. They have made the mistake of looking for acid soluble geochemicals. Unfortunately, acid
soluble geochemicals exist everywhere, and water soluble geochemicals exist only around mineralized
veins and placers. Thus looking for acid soluble geochemicals can be very confusing and unproductive.
When properly carried out, geochemical exploration is the best modern method available, regardless of
price, when prospecting for precious metals.
What You Can Use It For
Preliminary Assays - If you want to know whether you should have a rock assayed or not, use this meter.
A high reading should be assayed and a low reading indicates that it will be useless to assay the rock. The
instruction manual gives details.
Placer Prospecting and Evaluation - All placers have geochemical haloes. Does a placer exist in the
area? The ground will read high in the placer area and will gradually taper off as you leave the placer.
High readings in the dirt indicate a 98% chance of a placer if you use the meter correctly.
Prospecting for Hard Rock Gold Veins - All mineralized veins have geochemical haloes. These
geochemicals wick their way to the surface over the hundreds of years. They even go through solid rock.
You can use them to detect mineralized veins hundreds of feet deep in the earth.
Testing Rivers and Streams for Precious Metals - This is a fast, sure way of locating placer and hard
rock deposits of precious metals. The Geochemical Meter can detect both more than a mile downstream
from the deposit.
Locating Buried Treasure - All buried treasure eventually creates haloes of metals around it. This halo
sometimes extends 100 feet and more depending upon time in the ground. This is true even if the treasure
is inside of a cave in a wooden box. Proper use of the Geochemical Meter can be of invaluable use in
locating such treasures. The Geochemical Meter does not replace metal detectors, rather use it in
conjunction with metal detectors for serious treasure hunting.
Laboratory Testing - The Geochemical Meter will test dissolved geochemicals and metals in water. Many
uses can be made of the meter. One suggestion would be to use the meter to tell when the metals have
been leached out of an ore when doing cyanide or non-cyanide leaching.
Geochemical Meter
The Geochemical Meter weighs less than one pound. It’s approximately 4" x 4.5" x 5" in size and
can easily be carried into the field. Most tests should be conducted at home because of the increased
accuracy of allowing each test to soak for approximately one hour. 10 or 20 or 100 tests can be set up to
soak and then all completed with about I minute per test. Uses 2 standard 9 volt batteries. Several
thousand tests can be accomplished on one set of batteries making tests cost less than 1¢ each. The
actual meter readings are in micro mho's. The scales on the meter represent 0-1, 0-100, 0-1000 and 0-
10,000 micro mho's. In some cases a reading as low as 10 can indicate a mineralized vein is nearby. The
instruction booklet gives complete details in translating the readings into probability of gold existing nearby
and methods of locating same. Action Mining's Geochemical Meter makes geochemical prospecting both
fast and accurate when done according to the 30 page instruction booklet which is included.

How To Use The Meter: Shown - Instruction Booklet, Geochemical Prospecting Manual,
Pulverize your rock to 80 GeoMeter (at left), Geochemical Meter in Carrying Case with Range
mesh (about the size of Extender
table salt) or screen any
placer dirt to 50 mesh.
Measure out 10 grams. Mix
with 40 grams of distilled
water and pour into the
Geochemical Meter. Push
the button on the meter and
read the needle.
Immediately wash out the
meter. Testing streams
and rivers is easier. Just
pour the water in and push
the button. NOTE: To
use the Geochemical Meter
properly one must first
determine the background
readings for the area in
question. This is
accomplished in a very
short time through use of
the Geochemical Meter.

Impact Mills- run wet or dry material!
www.actionmining.com Pricesimpact
Our micro-grinding good through Decemberare
mill systems 2007
designed to55
be fast, efficient,
and long lasting. The freestanding 16” micro-grinding mill is designed for
larger production of ultra-fine pulverization, producing as fine as 400 mesh,
depending upon your material. The 11” bench unit can produce 150 mesh fineness on the first pass!
Each mill has 2 outlets for ore removal. These outlets allow you to run your ore wet or dry. For the 11”
bench unit, the ore bin, with the vacuum bag attached, collects the dry ultra-fine powder as it exits
through the top outlet down through the hose. To run your material wet, use the bottom outlet (cap the
top outlet). Both mills are designed to create minimal dust leakage for environmental air control. The
2008 standard units come with carbide tipped hammers for greater wear ability and our -10 mesh
metal classifier insert for on-the-spot screening! Available is our -20 mesh metal classifier,
optional for a finer grind output.

KIT EQUIPMENT
Assay Furnace 9” x 10” x 6.5”
1 Ore Pulverizer
1 Pouring Mold
1 Furnace Tongs
1 Assay Scales
1 Drying Dish
1 Comparator
1 Mortar & Pestle, 3” cast iron
1 Wash Bottle 250 ml
1 Assay Gloves
1 Face Shield
KIT SUPPLIES
1 lb. Cupelling Lead Wool
1 lb. Gold ore
2 Fire Bricks
10 lb. Standard Ore Assay Flux
10 lb. Sulfide Ore Assay Flux
1 lb. Gold/Silver Smelting Flux
8 Crucibles 30 grams
20 Cupels 1.5” MgO
1 Ceramic Crayon
Simply mix your ore with our Premixed Flux in a Crucible. Place it in the Furnace. In an hour, pour the entire batch into
the Pouring Mold. When it has cooled, break off the lead button that has formed. Place the lead button on a Cupel and back
into the Furnace. Soon any precious metals present will remain in the form of a small bead. All materials and equipment are
included in this kit so that you can do your own assays and determine the weight of the bead, without other equipment.
Professional Assay Kits also available - ask for details!
Searching the industry looking for low cost mining laboratory equipment, we are continually testing new items. Now the
necessary equipment can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of past mining laboratories. Where low cost equipment could
not be found, we have manufactured the equipment ourselves. Action Mining’s Impact Mill is an example of this, selling for a
fraction of the cost of similar items that do the same job.
If you are going into mining or if you are in mining, consider putting in your own lab. A small backyard facility can
prevent the loss of a great deal of time and money. We always answer questions on the phone, and will help with setting up
your lab. We believe that a miner without a lab is like a hospital without an X-ray machine. Neither can really tell what is
happening without the proper tools.
WARNING: Assay lead fumes are poisonous.
Assay Furnaces must not be used indoors - unless under a ventilated metal hood.
