Business Wire
Minelab, the global leader in gold detection technology and
hand-held metal detector devices has announced the establishment of
a Gold Mining division to support artisanal small scale gold miners
and prospectors around the world. The announcement was made at the
Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town, South Africa, today.
The recent discovery of a 5.5kg gold nugget in Ballarat,
Australia at 60cms depth by a prospector using a Minelab GPX 5000
hand-held gold detector illustrates the benefit of Minelab’s
cutting edge technology in the pursuit of gold. The Ballarat nugget
was valued in excess of US$300,000.
Prospectors across Central and Latin America have also tasted
success with the GPX 5000 gold detector. Recently a prospector in
Venezuela discovered 30g of gold at a depth of 150cms and in Brazil
a 2g nugget was discovered using Minelab’s gold detecting
technology.
Minelab launched its first hand-held gold detector in Australia
in 1985 and over the past 28 years has been at the forefront of
metal detector design and innovation. Minelab’s new Gold Mining
division will provide dedicated support to the worldwide small
scale gold mining market and its communities.
Peter Charlesworth, General Manager Minelab said:
“The new Gold Mining division consists of a specialised
portfolio of products, accessories and support services which
include on and off field training allowing us to provide expert
advice on the best use of Minelab’s gold detectors so that miners
can produce results in the toughest of mineralized soil conditions,
in a cost effective way and with minimal disruption to the
environment.
In areas where traditional subsistence mining has taken place
for generations, Minelab has introduced cutting edge technology and
provided training and support to enable these communities to
transform their gold mining activities and their lives for the
better. Across the globe Minelab’s technology is making a
difference to artisanal small scale gold miners by increasing
efficiency, productivity and safety.
We are very excited about our new Gold Mining division and
believe that with our dedicated products and training programmes,
safe, effective and profitable gold mining is only a step away for
any serious prospector.”
Sheila Kelleher, General Manager of Minelab’s Gold Mining
Division, commented, “Mining Indaba is the perfect platform for us
to launch our Gold Mining Division. The conference attracts a
global audience focused on developing and investing in an industry
that affects so many people’s lives. We hope that Minelab’s Gold
Mining contribution will continue to build the connections between
Prospecting, Community and the Environment by advancing the usage
of Minelab’s hand-held gold metal detector technology and in turn
make a difference to the lives of the businesses and communities we
work with.”

About Minelab’s Hand-held Gold Detector Technology
Minelab launched its first hand-held gold detector in the
Australian market in 1985. Designed by renowned physicist Bruce
Candy, it revolutionized the prospecting world with its ground
breaking technology which allowed alluvial nugget gold (from
sub-gram size) to be detected in highly mineralized ground. Minelab
products lead the field in their ability to ‘see through’ the
ground and remain sensitive to even the smallest deposit of gold at
unbelievable depths.
About Minelab’s GPX 5000 Gold Detector
Minelab’s GPX 5000 is an unbeatable gold detector, capable of
finding gold of all sizes – from sub gram nuggets to life changing
‘retirement’ nuggets and everything in between. It features
industry leading MPS, DVT and SETA technology combined with the
legendary GPX ability to ‘see through’ ground mineralization
allowing it to achieve excellent depth whilst remaining sensitive
to even the smallest nuggets – the GPX Depth Advantage.
About Minelab’s Range of Gold Detectors
Minelab’s specialist gold detectors are revolutionizing how gold
miners search for gold nuggets in some of the world’s most

benefits but all contain world-first technology and come with the
Minelab guarantee of the highest performance in even the toughest
gold prospecting conditions.
