Systems include on-board water recycling systems, diesel powered, 3PH AC generators, multi-stage recirculating mineral jig mineral classification circuits, hydraulic leveling, and screening plants. Wheeled or skid mounted chassis can be provided to meet the requirements of the operating environment. Each plant is built to the customer's specification and can be provided with all or a partial equipment compliment. Each system is built with remote, Alaska operations in mind, giving the maximum in durability and recovery, while maintaining low maintenance and operator training requirements.
The Mk system has been field tested in arctic winter conditions through January into -16F weather at 3,800FT in the eastern Talkeetna Mtns. If there is any water available, winter operations are very feasible with an increased operating cost to the operator of approximately 10%-15% overall due to increased fuel consumption (#1 diesel vs. #2) and increased maintenance requirements due to the weather.
The MK series Arctic MinerTM is equipped with Pan-American type mineral jigs as the primary mineral classification component. These jigs are configured as either duplex (D) or single cell (S) sets. Other variations include duplex liner cell configurations and circular configuration of both duplex (DC) and single cell (CSC) jigs. Depending upon configuration and target primary jig capacity, up to four sets of mineral jigs arranged in a mineral recirculating configuration may be present. A standard duplex 42IN X 42IN duplex Pan-American type jig has a -1/2IN feed capacity of approximately 20 cubic yards.
Model or configuration designations reflect the number and type of primary mineral jigs:
