If you are talking about South Africa uranium... it's a very interesting geology. Where gold ore formed deep in the ground from ancient alluvial deposits, same is true of nearby uranium deposits.

a few things going on with the resurgence of uranium. Last visit underground was about a couple months ago checking out a uranium mine with this fella from South Africa.

Oh, I see it was only a guy from South Africa checking out a uranium mine.

Dang my old post from five and a half years ago. I took those pictures from maybe the second to the last Elko Nevada mine Expo I attended. In my opinion that show sure went down hill for the mine supply industry, because no one important from the big mine companies would show up anymore and the booths they had were all about recruiting more mine employees. The first one I attended probably 1992 was nothing but a good time from sun-up until the bars closed down buying drinks for those who had the authority to spend millions. One of the best moves I made was sitting at the bar and listening in on a table with some peddlers buttering up some key individuals of Barrick Gold. I told the bar tender I wanna fix up everyone at that table with another round of drinks. When they were served they all wondered who got the round. The waiter points to me and says that gentleman sitting there at the bar. They all said well thanks and why don't you come and join us and tell us who you are. That move turned out to be the biggest years I ever had out there. After that more and more competition moved into the Northern Nevada gold fields to get their piece of the pie. Funny how somethings things never last.

doing a crash course in centrifuges and pretty much settled on on getting a Neffco Bowl but Larry Neff passed away and Global has taken over the manufacturing of the bowl. They want $8000 usd for a new one and I cant find a used one atm. I actually can but then its just the same bunch of guys that like to mine the crap out of the miners

im in Canada and $8000 usd is about $15,000 cad. I dont want to spend $15,000 on a bowl just to see if it works, Global went radio silent when i asked if they would send me one for a week or knew of anyone local to me that could rent me one for a week and if it worked id buy it.

these things arent exactly brain science, its a bowl that spins at 120 rpm using a 120v, 1/2 hp, 1800 rpm motor going to a 15 to 1 gear box. the bowl you could copy cat the angles of a frontier bowl and then just glue in the extruded rubber riffle. from staring at pictures and paused videos i pretty much know the profile but does anyone have a profile pic of the extruded rubber riffle with dimensions? so i can just get it extruded locally or know where to buy 100 feet of it?

Maybe the manufacturer sells replacement parts(?).....might be worth the investment.
