Alluvial Mining Company Jobs 2016 [Updated]

Alluvial mining is an old technology, but it’s still fairly common today. Some mining companies use the technique, though it’s more often a source of income for individual laborers in areas like Africa and South America.

But what exactly is alluvial mining? Put simply, it’s the mining of stream bed deposits (also known as alluvial deposits) for minerals. These alluvial deposits are formed when minerals are eroded from their source, and then transported by water to a new locale. When the sediments are deposited, they settle according to their weight, with heavier, more valuable minerals like gold, diamonds and platinum often being deposited at the same time.

Alluvial mining can be a very simple process. For instance, the US Geological Survey explains that the small-scale alluvial mining that’s undertaken by individual laborers “involves digging and sifting through mud, sand and gravel using shovels sieves, or even bare hands.” However, with simplicity comes disadvantages — these operations are not very productive, lack safety and tend to have a high environmental impact. They are also often “outside the legal and regulatory framework.”
