"I first started mining in Revelstoke, when I met Ray I bought a model 50 and used it for 2.5 years and couldn't believe how fast we processed the bench I had permitted up at the top of the mountain. The Nor-Tec machines are significantly easier to do cleanups with. You don't have to run for 20-40 hours or do timely labor intensive cleanup before you know if the ground has viable gold. Testing is a breeze being able to run 120 yards in about 30-40 minutes and just having to pan one simple pan down to figure out exactly what that ground is paying."

"After decades of mining and using every type of conventional wash plant, nothing comes close to the speed and ease of cleanup In a large Reverse Helix. Within five minutes, I can clean my box check my values, and tell if I am still on the pay streak."
