Whether you operate a junior gold mine in Latin America, a placer claim in the American West, an artisanal cooperative in West Africa, or a small-scale silver project in Southeast Asia, Avimetal delivers the modular processing plant you need to get from ore to doré at a fraction of the capex of conventional plants — installed in weeks, not years.
Avimetal’s gold and silver recovery systems combine gravity concentration, leaching, and high-efficiency electrowinning in containerized 20-ft and 40-ft modules. The platform handles a wide range of ore types — free-milling, refractory, oxide, sulfide, placer, and tailings — and supports both cyanide and emerging non-cyanide leach chemistries. For dry, remote, or water-scarce sites, our Electrostatic Dry Washer enables waterless concentration, opening up deposits that conventional wet processing cannot economically address.
Typical recoveries exceed 90% on free-milling gold ores and 75–85% on refractory material with the appropriate pre-treatment. Plants scale from 0.5 TPH pilot units to 50+ TPH commercial production lines, with the same module library on both ends.
Recommended Avimetal Stack
- Modular Plant Systems — pre-engineered 20-ft / 40-ft gold/silver flow sheets
- Crush Line + Wet Pulverizing Modules — size reduction to liberation
- Tornado Mill — micronization for refractory ores and concentrates
- Wet Gravity Concentration Module — high-recovery free gold capture
- Electrostatic Dry Washer — waterless concentration for placer/arid sites
- Autoclave Module — pressure oxidation for refractory ores
- Cyclone Electrowinning System — fast, low-energy precious metal deposition
- Precious Metal Refining Plant — final doré or pure metal production
Why Now
- Gold and silver near multi-year highs, with strong long-term fundamentals
- Junior miners increasingly unable to afford conventional $30M+ plants
- Artisanal & small-scale mining (ASM) formalization programs creating demand for compliant, deployable processing
- ESG pressure and regulatory tightening on mercury favoring modern alternatives
- Tailings re-treatment of historic gold tailings is a major growth segment
Who It's For
Junior and mid-tier gold/silver producers · Placer miners · Artisanal & small-scale mining cooperatives and formalization programs · Tailings reprocessors · Toll-milling operators · Government-backed regional processing hubs
