A gold mine reclaims gold tailings
A gold mine reclaims gold tailings FLUMP dredge system at Societe des Mines de Syama gold tailings pond SRS Crisafulli manufactured a stainless steel 4" Severe Duty FLUMP dredge system for Societe des Mines de Syama's gold mine in Mali, West Africa. The FLUMP dredges and pumps solids from a tailings pit back into the leaching process to reclaim gold, which otherwise would be lost. SRS Crisafulli designed a stainless steel FLUMP dredge to combat the corrosive environment. There have been enormous technological advances in gold extraction since this mine originally opened. Mine owners can reprocess the ancient tailings and now extract additional gold. As back-up to the conveyor system feeding the mixing tank, the FLUMP dredge system provides a secondary continuous feed to the mixing tank.Th
