Sandy Creek Gold Sluicing
Ltd.
SLUICING operations on the leases of Sandy Creek Gold Sluicing Ltd., in New Guinea, have now returned to the normal per-war level. This indicates that much progress has been made in the last six months: at the last annual general meeting on December 9, 1947, it was reported that the company had. to that date, made only one small clean up for the recovery of 68 oz. of gold from 2,300 yards of material treated.
From that date, however, until June 30, 1948, a number of small clean-ups were made for a further recovery of 591 oz. of gold from approximately 35,461 yards of treated jnaterial.
