1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Are you managing a highgrade gold operation where conventional crushing and grinding methods are eroding your profit margins? The challenges of processing hard rock gold ore are significant: inconsistent particle size distribution from primary crushers leading to poor liberation, excessive wear on grinding components from abrasive quartz, and high energy consumption per ton of ore milled. These factors directly impact your bottom line through increased downtime for liner changes, higher operational costs, and potential gold losses in coarse tailings. How do you achieve consistent, highrecovery milling for premium ore bodies while controlling operational expenditure and maximizing the value of every ton? The solution requires a robust, precisionengineered approach to comminution.

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Luxury Stamp Mill is a modern reinterpretation of the classic gravityimpact crushing principle, engineered for selective operations processing highvalue goldquartz veins and sulfide ores. It is designed for operations where preserving coarse free gold and minimizing overgrinding are critical to profitability.

Operational Workflow:
1. Feed Preparation: Sized ore (typically 2" to 1/2") from a primary jaw crusher is fed into a regulated feed hopper.
2. Gravity Impact Crushing: Camdriven heavyduty stamps (weights) are lifted and dropped onto the ore bed contained within a durable mortar box.
3. Particle Size Reduction & Amalgamation: The repeated impact fractures the ore along grain boundaries, liberating gold particles which can be captured via integrated amalgamation plates or direct collection.
4. Discharge & Classification: Crushed material passes through a grated screen at the mortar box discharge, with oversize recycled and fines reporting to downstream concentration processes (e.g., sluices, shaking tables).

Application Scope & Limitations:
Ideal For: Small to mediumscale operations with hard rock lode deposits, artisanal and smallscale mining (ASM) formalization projects, custom milling facilities for highgrade ore, and historical site reprocessing.
Limitations: Not suitable for hightonnage, bulk mining operations (>200 TPD). Less effective for soft, clayrich ores that cause packing. Requires consistent feed sizing from primary crushing.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS

HighGrade Vein Mining Operation – West Africa

Challenge: A midtier miner was experiencing >15% gold loss in coarse tailings from their hammer mill circuit when processing extremely hard quartz veins. Overgrinding also created slimes that hampered cyanidation efficiency.
Solution: Installation of two parallel Luxury Stamp Mills configured with coarse discharge grates after primary jaw crushing.
Results: Coarse free gold recovery via direct trapping improved by 22%. Overall plant recovery increased by 9% due to improved particle liberation characteristics for the leach circuit. Energy costs per ton milled fell by an estimated 18%.

Historical Tailings Reprocessing Facility – North America

Challenge: Retreating historical tailings required gentle but effective size reduction of slaglike material to liberate encapsulated gold without creating excessive ultrafines.
Solution: A single lowspeed Luxury Stamp Mill was deployed as the primary grinder, replacing a small ball mill.
Results: The impact crushing action proved more effective than tumbling abrasion on the brittle material. Gold liberation yield improved while reducing fines generation (35% in 200 mesh fraction), enhancing downstream flotation kinetics. Maintenance costs were lower due to less abrasive wear compared to ball mill liners.
