EC and All, was it Ateba Mines and my Old Friends at Maxam Gold that had the ANTI CLAY ( Feldspars in the Desert what we have had to deal with ) AGENTS east and west of Mississippi and ATB into Canada with that Surfactants Patent? I will try to find out what happened to ATEBA, anyone know? Maxam( MXAM-PK) ran from 2 cents to 8 lately...at first they were used in DIAMOND testing by MMU Marum I think it was in 1999. Maybe not MMU ...some diamond hunter.
""

but too much slime clay has been known to act as a flotation agent for gold. You can use surfactants to increase wetting but they clog up sluices. Hi-G machines that use centrigal force are much less affected by these problems.

Then Ross Box was developed to combat clay in placers. Trommels and water sprays have also been found effective.""
