REFURBISHING THE DREDGE:


The Dredge though originally designed for river dredging in the USA is being modified for use in the jungles of West Africa. Plans to modify the Dredge include building an all aluminum working platform, walk ways, outboard motor mounts, two 40hp outboard engines, GPS, depth finder, hot water heater for wet suits, on board spiral and Jig classifier, riffles, new suction hoses, two way communication, diving lights, and toilet.





OPERATIONS:
The dredge is simple, efficient, site specific and conservatively rated to handle 50 cubic meters of material per hour. It consists of a platform built on aluminum pontoons, a 167 hp diesel engine,  one (1) 3500 GPM Berkley water pump, and a 25ft long sluice box for recovery.  It employs only tried and proven technology, is constructed from industrial grade components, and is very reliable.  It is extremely easy to operate, is almost maintenance free, and will operate at depths of 30ft to 40ft with maximum suction where the highest gold values are recovered. 

CONCLUSION:
The 10 inch Super dredge ( "Lucky Lady") can process up to 400 cubic meters per day.
