Auriferous Production
According to the previous information, between 25 and 30 grams of gold a day would be obtained, for a 9 hour shift of continual operation having gotten to obtain at the beginning of the exploitation of the area 70 to 80 grams a day. From the pointed out items it can be seen that the production of the dredging unit is in function of the richness of the dredged area, as well as the time of the exploitation itself.
Possibilities of system application Keeping in mind the great magnitude of our hypothetical hydrographical river basin, in which the totality of the tributary slope are bearers of auriferous material, is it that we consider that the direct exploitation is done through the dredge suction method it brings about great possibilities to the development of the auriferous mining development in this region, and in general, to all of the alluvial auriferous regions in the country itself.
Conclusions According to that which has been exposed in the present report, we consider that the method of suction dredging as described offers miners new perspectives in the exploitation of auriferous placers since its introduction and rational application will allow in the short run the incorporation of new work areas and the more commonly known of beaches and fluvial terraces, and can be seen in the auriferous production of the area. It is worthwhile to point out that suction dredging is a very widely spread method and applied in different scales in diverse countries. The interesting profitability of the operation of a suction dredge of 6 inches will allow the financing of the bank in units of the sort.
