FAQ

Alaska Mining Questions

How do you ship equipment to Alaska?

We coordinate with major Alaska freight carriers including Carlile Transportation, Lynden, and barge services for coastal locations. Equipment ships from our facility to the port of your choice, and we can arrange final delivery to your operation. Most shipments to Fairbanks take 7-14 days.

Do your wash plants work in cold water?

Yes. Our sluice box design maintains excellent recovery even in water temperatures near 40°F (4°C). The key is proper water flow and our scientifically-designed riffle system. Many of our Alaska customers report no noticeable drop in recovery during cold water operations.

What size wash plant do I need for my Alaska claim?

It depends on your expected throughput and available water. Most small to medium Alaska operations do well with our 50-100 ton units. For larger commercial operations processing significant yardage, our 200+ ton plants are ideal. Contact us with details about your operation for a personalized recommendation.

Are your wash plants compliant with Alaska regulations?

Yes. Our equipment is 100% mercury-free and meets all Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation requirements. We can provide documentation for your APMA (Alaska Placer Mining Application) as needed.

Can I get replacement parts in Alaska?

We design our wash plants using commonly available components whenever possible. Many parts are available at industrial suppliers in Fairbanks and Anchorage. For specialized components, we maintain inventory and can ship quickly via air freight during the mining season.
