Unlocking the Secrets: Float Test on Little Giant Ore for Platinum Group... https://lnkd.in/ex5WqSvD via YouTube Join us in this informative video as we delve into the float test conducted on the Little Giant ore, a procedure suggested by Steve Dobson due to the hydrophobic characteristics of platinum group metals (PGMs). After grinding the ore, we perform the test to see if any silver-gray metallic substances rise to the surface, which would suggest the presence of PGMs. This experiment is based on a couple of pounds of ore, and we invite you to observe the results as we strive to confirm the existence of these precious metals. #LittleGiantOre #PlatinumGroupMetals #ScientificTesting #Gold #Silver #PGMs #Platinum #Idaho #Invest #America #Production #Progress #Geology #Science #Meteorite #Education #Video Dan Hally - Western Frontier Exploration & Mining Publicly Traded @ OTCMKTS - SDRC

How Did Australia Surpass China in Iron Ore Production? 🤔🌍 For thousands of years, iron ore has been the backbone of human progress. But today, Australia has become the global leader in producing this crucial material, even surpassing China—one of the largest consumers of iron ore. How did this shift happen? 🏗️ Today: • The most mined metal globally, with 3 billion tonnes produced annually. • A staggering 94% of all mined metals are iron ore! • And 98% of that iron goes into steel production—the foundation of modern infrastructure, transportation, and industry. 🚀 Without iron ore, the world as we know it would look entirely different. 📽️ This video captures the astonishing growth of iron ore production from 1930 to 2023—a powerful visual of nearly a century of global development. As someone deeply involved in the industrial and mining sectors, I’m constantly inspired by iron ore’s role in shaping economies, societies, and innovation. Take a moment to watch, reflect, and appreciate the power of this remarkable metal! #Mining #IronOre

💹 OCTOBER MARKET UPDATE 💹 💡 Did you know, iron ore reached an all time high of 219.77 USD/T in July 2021? Experts attribute this to strong Chinese demand and supply issues in Brazil. ⭐ This week, iron ore is back in the spotlight. Prices, which had fallen from 140 USD/T to a low of 91.3 USD/T in late September, have now rebounded. This marks a notable shift after a steady decline throughout 2024, as a result of weak global demand driven by China’s property sector downturn. The recent recovery coincides with China’s announcement of a new stimulus package, which has also boosted its equity markets and signals a potential rebound in demand for construction materials. ❓ What do you think, will the recent Chinese stimulus alter the long-term outlook for iron ore, or is this price rally short-lived? #SiteWareDirect #SWD #ASX #Mining #IronOre #StockMarketUpdate

Spiral concentrator is a modern equipment with high capacity and low cost, which is developed for the concentration of low-grade ore and slurry industrial mineral. The principle is the combination of solid particle density and hydrodynamic drag characteristics. The spiral is composed of a single spiral or a double spiral conduit or gate wound around the central collection column. The device has a washing water channel and a series of concentration removal ports placed at regular intervals. The separation is realized by the material stratification caused by the complex combined effect of centrifugal force, differential sedimentation and heavy particles migrating into the conduit through the bed. It is widely used to treat heavy mineral beach sand composed of monazite, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, garnet and upgraded chromite concentrate. #alicoco #spiral #spiralconcentrator #gold #goldmining #gravityconcentrator #gravitymineralprocessingequipments #mining #miningequipmentn

Most natural ore deposits don’t have high mineral or metal concentrations, making ore grading and mineral concentration necessary to eventually get metal from the original raw material. Handheld XRF (HHXRF) analysis can deliver fast, accurate results to determine elemental constituents for most low-concentration natural samples. Concentrated ore samples can be more challenging. Niton HHXRF analyzers offer different modes such as Fundamental Parameter Mode for a broad variety of sample types and User Mode for homogenously concentrated mineral samples.
