Around the world the majority of gold separating is being performed with a pan and in many cases mercury. This is not only an archaic process, but is also quite deadly.

 

Our Mission

John Richmond, the founder of Sluice Goose Industries and the inventor of Goldrop, wanted to change the lives of millions around the world…as well as make it easier for Prospectors to make a living. The Goldrop will do both.

The Goldrop is designed to be portable, durable and easy to use. After a quick classification process the concentrate is simply dumped into the top of the Goldrop. Within seconds over 99.8% of the gold is filtered and deposited into a canister at the base of the Goldrop. That’s it.


Mercury is a shiny liquid metal that attacks the nervous system. Exposure can result in life-long disability, and is particularly harmful to children. In higher doses, mercury can kill. Its largest use globally is in small-scale gold mining.
