KISANTU
Strategic Mining Solutions has identified several highly encouraging exploration targets in Kisantu that it will follow up in coming periods with the expectation of delineating additional mineable resources to materially extend the currently predicted ~8-year mine life of Kisantu.
Kisantu was Strategic Mining Solutions second exploration project in partnership with Nyota Mining DRC.
Located in the Eastern Central region of the Kongo-Central province 120 km South-West of the capital Kinshasa.
​
Lying on the Inkisi river the 4 sites spanning 16 sq km in total has potential to be
a multi mineral site with Gold, Diamonds & Copper present.
Production Process Strategy
​
All methods used to mine our available minerals are eco-friendly and no chemicals are used in our extraction process only water and gravity.
PLACER GOLD MINING
Placer gold, also known as alluvial gold, is a kind of gold that is produced at the bottom of rivers or low-lying areas, mixed with stone sand and can be washed out. The placer gold beneficiation process is mainly used in seaside placer, riverside placer or alluvial gold processing plants.

PLACER GOLD MINING PROCESS​
The principle of placer/alluvial gold recovery process is to maximize the recovery rate of gold and the associated heavy minerals from gangues firstly, and then separate gold from the associated heavy minerals by joint mining solutions such as gravity separation, flotation, amalgamation, magnetic separation and electrostatic separation.
Ore washing operation is an important process before the placer gold separating operation. Its main purpose is to separate the gravel, sand and granular soil, and wash the fine mud adhering to the gravel and the gold ore mixed in it.
Screening operation main purpose is to screen the placer gold ore after washing, and to screen out large pieces of gravel without gold, so as to improve the gold recovery efficiency.
Gravity separation process is due to the large specific gravity and coarse particle size of placer gold, which is generally 0.074~2mm, and the second reason is that the gravity separation process is economical and simple.
Concentrate operation, gravity separation process, magnetic separation process, flotation process, electric separation process or combined process can be used to separate gold and various heavy minerals from each other, so as to further improve the grade of gold.
Since gold is in a free state in placer gold, and the specific gravity difference between gold and sand is very obvious, placer gold gravity separation method is an ideal method to extract gold from placer. The task of our placer gold mining & processing production line is to separate gold from a large amount of mixed gravel to ensure a higher metal recovery rate and better economic benefits.
Setup is a 25tph complete alluvial gold recovery plant, the raw material is 0-150mm alluvial gold ore with much clay, the gold nugget size is around 0-10mm, and it with some magnetic ores.

The process is simple, and the alluvial gold mining equipment is low in cost and easy to operate. In addition, the process has the characteristics of environmental protection and can directly discharge tailings, which greatly reduces the civil construction investment of the entire processing plant.
