Fine Gold Recovery from Placers Gravity Separation ...
As an extreme example, in the recovery of alluvial tin (cassiterite), which is much lighter than gold (SG of cf. ), using a flowsheet with primary sluices/secondary and tertiary jigs/ quaternary tables, recovering 106 micron particles is not a problem and ''good'' recoveries down to 37 microns (400 mesh) are routinely achieved.
