Abstract
Mobile mineral processing apparatus comprising at least one module having a base, frame structure and a roof. The base is mounted on skids or the like whereby the module can be moved from place to place at will. Also, each module is demountable for convenient transport from one site to another and for convenient reassembly at the new site. In a basic form of the apparatus there is a preliminary separation module having an inclined screen for separating feed material into waste and treatment components, and a concentrator module having several banks of spiral concentrators which receive the treatment component and process that component to achieve a satisfactory level of recovery of the mineral of interest. Water and power distribution systems together with ancilliary equipment such as pumps and motors are provided as an integral part of the apparatus. The apparatus is therefore self contained and fully operational subject only to connection of external sources of water and power.
