Clay Be Gone: Causes Clay to Drop From Water

Clay Be Gone is a powerful prospecting aid designed to help separate stubborn clay from water and concentrates, making gold recovery faster, cleaner, and more efficient. Anyone who has worked sticky clay-rich material knows how frustrating it can be when clay traps fine gold and prevents proper separation during prospecting and clean-up. Clay Be Gone helps break down and release clay particles so unwanted material settles out more effectively while allowing trapped gold to separate more freely.
