• SYOGM Rock Impact Mill
  SYOGM Rock Impact Mill refers to low-cost, highly efficient, crushing and grinding impact mill with capacity of 500 kg and even up to 900 kg per hour. Capacity depends of the operator's skills and speed of work. This type of rock impact mill can easily replace rudimentary and very expensive ball mills such as those used in East Africa, in Tanzania, Uganda or Kenya or neighboring countries. While local village miners need to dry their rocks, this rock impact mill will work with water and without drying. It may process dry rocks as well. The machine may be transported by 2 people from a car to operating site. Or it may be transported by one person and wheelbarrow. Thus it is very mobile. Recovery screen is 1 mm and may be adjusted. We know from practical testing and scientific journal that screen of 1.5 mm is good enough to achieve almost optimum recovery. Thus our screen of 1 mm is more than enough to provide optimum recovery for small scale miners in East Africa and in other countries. This is pass-through grinding machine. It means that it may be used for very quick gold discoery and field sampling.
• If you can catch a leprechaun...
  A leprechaun, according to Irish legend is a dwarf who keeps a pot of gold hidden away. If you can catch a leprechaun, your troubles are over. Because he keeps his gold just for ransom money. If you catch him, he'll quickly tell you where his gold is, so you'll let him go.

• The Elephant Bee Hive Project in Katojo, Rubuguri, district of Kisoro, Uganda
  The Elephant Bee Hive Project was the idea to place the beehives as a natural and live fence to deter elephants not to exit the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This way, people's crops could be saved. However, the idea is not practical, as many beehives were abandoned first by their bees, and second by their maintainers, the project is not functional, and requires skilled people to work. We have made our own Elephant Defense Project and have informed people that they could plant chilli pepper around the crops to deter elephants, further, we informed rangers of the Uganda Wild Life Authority that they could bringing elephants' dung from other places of the forest to deter them to exit the forest in the night. The implementation alone requires funding and investments. We can provide only the advice.

• Mr. Okedi collecting concentrates from looped carpets
  Looped carpets or miners' moss or 3M Nomad type of a carpets are used to efficiently recover gold larger than 50 mesh, gold nuggets, flakes and larger gold. On the end of the day and multiple times of day, concentrates are collected from such carpets.
• Magnified flat gold nugget in the gold pan
  This is magnified and flat gold nugget in the pan. It is probably flat due to the previous ball mill processing, it was smashed and became flat.
• Mercury gold and mercury ball in the gold pan
  This is how it looks like when many gold particles are connected or amalgamated together with mercury. Miners used mercury in recovery of gold, and lost it in heaps of tailings. We are recovering both the mercury and the gold from such tailings, without using new mercury or introducing new mercury in the process.
• Mercury recovered from concentrates
  Instead of nice yellow gold, our gold looks as silver like, as it is mixed with mercury. Heaps of tailings are polluted with mercury and our recovery is such that we cannot see it yellow any more unless it is either microscopic, as such could not be connected to mercury or too large as nugget, as such also did not connect to mercury.
• Gold is recovered in form of mercury
  Heaps of tailings are polluted by mercury from previous mining operation. We are recovering mercury as well with the gold, and later dispose safely with the pollutant. Mercury is not used in our operation. We recover mercury from nature.
• Concentrate is being processed
  Mr. Louis is processing the remaining concentrates and process is fast. It is possible to process multiple buckets of concentrates after work, and to get to the fine gold within 15 minutes.
• Buckets of concentrate are today processed for gold
  The buckets of concentrate are today processed for gold. In general, our bulk of concentrate is not large. These many buckets contain various particle sizes and types of gold, and help in sorting out what we were doing. We can then determine which heap of tailing was better productive.
• Heaps of tailings being milled again and processed
  These heaps of tailings are being milled again with the rudimentary locally made hammer crusher that runs in wet mode. The material is then processed on small looped carpet sluices. The hammer crusher is spending about 25,000 Ugs. per day on hammers alone, which is about US $6.95.
• Miners working on the sluice
  Miners are handling the first tailings heaps on this mining site.
• Mining and mineral processing site
  This is our mining and mineral processing site where we have agreement to process all the tailings heaps.
• Concentrate on the vortex matting
  This is vortex matting, enlarged. Concentrate is under the surface of these particles, including several small gold nuggets.
• Water pump is debugged

• Mineral sample on the mining site
  This is gold bearing rock that is crushed, milled and processed on this mining site.
• The mercury coated or amalgamated gold in the gold pan
  This is the enlargement of the mercury coated or amalgamated gold in the gold pan.
• Sluice handling
  People are handling the sluice for fine gold recovery. We are using 4 important pieces of technology necessary to capture small gold. The test stage allows a lot of mistakes to happen, so that next sluice may be built with all the small improvements necessary for better gold recovery.
• Laminar water flow
  Laminar water flow on the sluice is important factor in gold recovery. Turbulences and bubbles or air spaces under the water flow shall by all means be avoided.
• So many hoses, pipe, which one is ours?
  There are so many hoses and pipes on the ground, many of them are neglected. Miners do their best. Due to expenses, light blue hoses are used to bring water. But they are also breaking all the time and are more liability than an asset. We are using the HDPE pipe of two inch as it is durable and gives least resistant to water in comparison to those other soft hoses.
• The sluice ready for the tailings heap test
  The sluice is setup on the mining site on 1st January 2018 and is ready for the tailings test. Larger gold particles were found and much of the smaller particles of black, brown and dark red gold. Maybe you wonder what is black, brown and dark red gold? Those gold particles are coated with other minerals and do not appear as yellow and shiny as larger gold particles.

• Miners asking for cigarettes
  These miners were happy to see some foreigner passing by in their mining area. They asked for cigarettes or alcohol, which we did not have.
• The "Aha" moment or Eureka moment in Tanzania, September 14th 2012
  This was the major Eureka moment or Aha! Moment for me in Tanzania, back on September 14th 2012. I could realize that each of the bags carried on the bicycles as seen on pictures contains one gram of gold which summarizes up to 20 grams of gold per tonne. The material was soft soil, that is easy to excavate with shovels or even hands. Many people, including women, grandfathers and grandmothers, and children were filling their rice bags with soil, and bringing them to the mineral processing place.
• Mineral processing plant in Tanzania on 14th September 2012
  This view is one of the "Aha" moments that happened in my life. That is where we realized how gold may be mined, obtained, processed, recovered for profits. Even though we already had some of contracts for mining ventures in sight, this was the first practical cognition. I have realized that people are leaching gold with cyanide, and purchasing heaps of gold bearing tailings. At that time I was myself in conflict with the chemicals, such as mercury or cyanide. After long research I have decided to…

• Mr. Louis resting after gold recovery
  The gold recovery method took several minutes to complete and to run the concentrates to recover some fine gold particles. Mr. Louis is resting in standing position, after longer sitting session.
• Fine gold recovered after test of the tailing
  The fine gold have been recovered after the test of the tailing heaps and beach sand. The beach sand is containing fine gold and mercury together from previous mining operations. People are bringing sand and soil all the time to wash it on the river. Beach contains a lot of fine gold and few nuggets. The tailing heaps contain fine gold and small nuggets as well. This fine gold as shown on the picture have been recovered without any mercury, by using simplest tools for gold prospecting.
• The fine gold recovery system
  This is our fine gold recovery system. A set of buckets and basins, classifiers, sluices, gold pans. Very simple. We can recover finest gold particles without using mercury. Process is fast and simple and we use the principle and the rule that key to recovery of gold is concentration. So we do that. We concentrate it. First we are concentrating the gold on the fine gold sluice. Then we obtain the concentrates we concentrate the concentrates on a smaller sluice and get very much of the gold in very…
• The raised operation on the heap
  The operation of tailing processing is raised so that hammer crusher is placed on the top of the heap and sluices down. The second sluice have too much of the slope and also very turbulent water flow that simply looses a lot of gold. 1-2 grams of gold lost per day makes a lot of money on the end of the month.
• The tailing heap after re-processing
  These tailing heaps are ending on the location just nearby the river thus polluting the area with the mercury particles. River is fully polluted, cows are drinking the same water and mercury is slowly transported to human bodies.
• The "Wett Mill" or locally made hammer crusher and processing of tailing
  This is "wet mill" or locally made hammer crusher that breaks each in a while. The maintenance expenses may be alone 3,500,000 Ugs. (Ugandan shillings) per month. The hammers are constantly replaced and the machine once running cannot be easily turned off. It mills rocks just for a certain percentage, large amount of pebbles and rocks come out as not well done.
