WHY BUY IT WHEN YOU CAN SIMPLY FIND IT!
We are in the process of re-adjusting our site. Much of what we used to offer are not longer available in reasonable time, therefore are now focusing on basic gold panning products, and our own product lines.
Take the price of an ounce of gold, and divide by 31.1 ( grams per troy oz ), then deduct 20% ( placer gold is alloyed with other metals and is usually of higher value than "Ore" gold - this is an average percentage, and may change due to location, and length of time exposed to the elements. )
Next - deduct 10% from that ( usually a legitimate broker's fee ), which should give you the value per gram of placer gold to see how much you need to recover to pay for your equipment investment
HERE IS A FORMULA TO FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF
Remember, all numbers are speculative, and controlled by the market. Also, gold is mostly quoted in USD$ and attract buying and selling fees causing continuous changes in the prices and associated fees.
As an example only, lets say an ounce of pure Gold is $2000 US$, and when converted to CAD$ may yield $2500.
- There are 31.1 grams in a Troy Oz
- $2500 divided by 31.1 = approx. $80.39 / gram gross value.
- $80.39 x 80% = approx. $64.31/gram before a gold buyers fee.
- $64.31 x 90% = approx. $57.88/gram Net.
- Product Cost = $100 divided by $57.88 = 1.7277 grams.
Under this "Example", you would need to recover 1.7277 grams of placer gold per $100 of product or other associated costs.
GOOD EQUIPMENT PAYS FOR ITSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE RICHER THE AREA - THE FASTER THE RECOVERY!
