• Gold particles compared to known coin size
  The gold particles are compared to the known coin size or one piece of the meter tape, so that we may get the visual sense to what gold have been found. One particle of very fine gold does not justify the operation to process such soil.
• Gold prospecting on open pit near Amonikakinei, Tiira, Busia, Uganda
  People in background are trying to reach the rich gold pockets at bottom of this open pit. Our people and team at front is verifying the overburden soil for existence and presence of gold. Sadly, few particles of fine gold do not justify the gravitational operation.
• Gold prospecting on the open pit, Amonikakinei, Tiira, Busia, Uganda
  The gold prospecting on the open pit was taking place begin of February 2019 by our company GOLDIVANTI GOLD LIMITED in Uganda. The overburden soil was verified for gold presence, several times and several days. The presence of gold is sure. But the profitability is not tdetermined. People in background are searching for rich gold pockets and such are found few times per each few months or one time per year. However, the overbuden soil cannot be processed for profits. We have made the verification…

• One pan prospecting volume
  The one pan prospecting volume is shown on this picture. This is Garrett Backpacker Pan filled with soil. When this exact gold pan is filled little bit below its hole on the side, the volume is just about 1.2 liters. By knowing the specific density of the soil, and by knowing the volume and actual gold prospecting results, we may know if the recoverable gold is profitable in the soil. That is field laboratory.
• Gold prospecting on river Okame, Busia, Uganda
  The river Okame does not have the exposed bedrock, yet it carries gold particles from overburden soil, and from tailings that are constantly spilled into the river. It also accrues the mercury waste from mining activities. Basic gold prospecting practice can be done on the river.

• Bus station in Busia, Uganda
  This is the bus station in Busia town, Uganda.
• Quartering of the sample on canvas, with warning
  The quartering have been conducted, but this is small sample containing concentrates, and even if it wasn't, the dirt on the canvas was not quartered equally, and thus the quarters do not represent perfect proportional minerals from the whole. Much care must be taken in doing this work, as well as to clean thoroughly the parts of the canvas where the discarded metal has been in order to prevent salting.
• Quarter of the sample, is it removed or not removed?
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. What do you observe on this picture? The quarter of the sample have been removed. Is it removed? What can you see and observe?…
• Collection of quarter of the sample into gold pan
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. People collect one quarter of the sample into the gold pan. Please don't do this.
• Negative education on errors in sampling
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. People are using canvas incorrectly, removing sample into gold pan, not cleaning the canvas, and walking barefoot over mercury contaminated sample.
• Negative education on errors in quartering
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. People are trying to remove way to big sample part into the gold pan. Instead, additional canvas underneath shall be used first to remove the quarter and then to dispose of it.
• Negative education examples of quartering
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. The barefoot walking over material, dirty canvas, not cleaning and removing all particles of the sample.
• Quartering the sample
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure.
• Quartering the sample
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: This picture are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. Barefoot walking over the canvas, using small scoop to try to flatten the sample, not using any piece of cloth to clean the canvas and collect or particles together, those are the incoherent facts to be observed on this picture.
• People are using canvas to divide the sample in two parts
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pictures are shown how NOT TO do the quartering procedure. The incoherent facts that may be seen on this picture are dirt everywhere on the canvas, thus either removing the gold particles from the sample or contaminating parts of sample with it. Using hands too close on the sample material and barefoot walking over the canvas, thus either removing or contaminating the sample.
• The method to divide smaller sample in two parts
  This pictures shows the starting position to divide the smaller sample into two parts.
• The sample as divided in two parts
  This sample have been divided in two approximately equal parts.

  On this picture one can see how sample have been divided on two parts.
• Coning the sample
  After mixing the sample, it has to be coned and then flattened before quartering process.
• Mixing the sample in plastic canvas
  While this picture cannot describe proper way of using canvas on how to mix the sample, it demonstrates the basic principle of rolling the sample in canvas.
• Sampling Errors in Practice
  NEGATIVE EDUCATION WARNING: These pages describe how not to do the sampling, coning and quartering, as these errors are common. Much care must be taken in doing this work, as well as to clean thoroughly the parts of the platform or canvas where the discarded metal has been in order to prevent salting. People walking barefoot on the mercury contaminated soil and other negative facts may be observed on this series of pictures.
• Removing the quarters into gold pan
  Removing the quarter of the sample into the gold pan is easy task. We rather recommend using other piece of canvas underneath, so that sample is easier removed from it, and then later placed into buckets or bags. Much care must be taken in doing this work, as well as to clean thoroughly the parts of the canvas where the discarded metal has been in order to prevent salting.
• Flattening of the sample on canvas
  The cone made out of the sample material shall be flattened on canvas so that easier quartering may take place in the second step.
• Sample in the middle of tabletop oilcloth, or this time tent plastic canvas
  Here one can see the sample in the middle of the tent plastic canvas. The canvas shall be about 2 meters by 2 meters, this one is little larger. For larger canvas, more care must be taken to have proper mixing and removal of parts of sample during the quartering process. This picture is negatively educationl. Do not repeat what you see on this picture.
• Quartering - dividing the sample into four equal parts
  Quartering is standard process to divide the sample into four equal parts. It is sample reduction process. Even though it may seem simple on pictures, it is not as simple if we are quartering sample which shall be assayed for gold grade. Small details of the techniques of quartering are very important, as otherwise gold contamination occurs and sample assays higher than it should be. Tips and tricks are explained on these pages about sampling and quartering methods.
• Mixing the smple on table oilcloth, nylon or plastic canvas
  This series of pictures will demonstrate how to mix the sample on the table oilcloth, nylon or plastic canvas. The procedure is standard, hundred yeasr old yet not as known and practiced by small scale miners in Africa.
• How to prepare the square table oilcloth for sample mixing
  These pictures will show how to prepare the square table oilcloth or other type of plastic canvas for purposes of mixing the sample. The process is simple, find out what is the quantity of the sample, try to estimate the square size, find the table oilcloth, measure its width and if width is good enough for the sample size, cut it to the length of the width, and you have got the square. While this process may be sample in its words to some people, to some other people it is complicated. Pictures are there to give the mass to the reader so that process can be easier understood.
• Sampling, Coning, Quartering, Reducing of Samples, the sampling series of pictures and videos to Start Your Own Gold Mine
