Improved Sluicing Technology

Building on the successes of others to improve fine gold recovery technology, we experimented and tested prototype sluices, and took the prototypes into the field. Through trial and error, we developed the Popandson Sluice for fine gold recovery. We hope to improve the livelihoods of the ASGM by boosting yield through technological improvement to the age-old method of sluicing.

Below you will find building instructions and information about the science behind our Popandson sluices. They are freely given to all who might want to create them for personal use or fabricate them on a retail scale. We like to “pay it forward” and this is one way for us to implement the concept.

We’d be thankful if you continued with the “Popandson Sluice” name, but it isn’t a requirement. Feel free to advance and modify this technology any way you see fit. If you build it, or are able to improve our design, drop us a line by email or send us a photo. We’d love to know!
