Description

The Geochemical Meter weighs less than one pound. It’s approximately 4″ x 4.5″ x 5″ in size and can easily be carried into the field. Most tests should be conducted at home because of the increased accuracy of allowing each test to soak for approximately one hour. 10 or 20 or 100 tests can be set up to soak and then all completed with about I minute per test. Uses 2 standard 9 volt batteries. Several thousand tests can be accomplished on one set of batteries making tests cost less than 1¢ each. The actual meter readings are in micro mho’s. The scales on the meter represent 0-1, 0-100, 0-1000 and 0-10,000 micro mho’s. In some cases a reading as low as 10 can indicate a mineralized vein is nearby. The instruction booklet gives complete details in translating the readings into probability of gold existing nearby and methods of locating same. Action Mining’s Geochemical Meter makes geochemical prospecting both fast and accurate when done according to the 30 page instruction booklet included. (shown in Carrying case, with Geochemical Prospecting Manual and range extender, each sold separately.

Basic Theory
The presence of geochemical haloes has been known and used for 59 years by many mining companies. All deposits of precious metals have associated geochemicals. Precious metals do not exist in deposits without geochemicals that are to some extent, water soluble. These geochemicals always wick their way out through solid rock and dirt over thousands of years. Such chemicals are detectable by our Geochemical Meter. So when looking for gold, don’t look for gold, look for geochemicals. The geochemicals spread out several hundred feet while the gold stays hidden. Most of the gold at the surface has already been located. Now the Geochemical Meter gives independent prospectors and miners higher technology for locating the 85%to 90% of gold that has not yet been found because it is beneath the ground surface.
