Sun Drying Extracts: A Call for Sustainable Innovation
Our community currently relies on traditional sun-drying methods to extract gold, a process passed down through generations. While it is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, this method has significant drawbacks:
Milling Machines: Enhancing Artisanal Gold Recovery
Milling machines play a vital role in breaking down hard rock during gold extraction. However, most artisanal miners in the Lubumbashi community rely on old, manually operated or inefficient milling machines.
Mining Pits
Mining pits serve as the main entry points to underground tunnels that follow natural gold veins. Each pit is carefully excavated and fitted with essential systems such as water and oxygen supply lines to sustain miners working deep below the surface.
Rock Crushing
The Lubumbashi Community Gold Miners rely on locally hand-crafted milling and crushing machines to break down hard stones and rocks extracted from mining pits. This traditional method, though resourceful, is highly labor-intensive and often inefficient, yielding low output and inconsistent particle sizes for further gold recovery.
Open Cast Mining
Open Cast Mining is one of the most efficient and accessible methods used by Lubumbashi Community Gold Miners for gold extraction. This surface mining technique involves removing layers of soil and rock to expose the gold-bearing ore underneath.
The "Z method" of gold mining
The "Z Method" is a locally developed and highly adaptive gold extraction technique practiced by Lubumbashi Community Gold Miners. The name originates from the zigzag pattern followed during excavation, resembling the letter “Z.”
