MICRO Banker 4" × 16" Ultralight Highbanker Kit with Pump and Dream Mat

Hike farther and process gold-bearing material in places where a conventional highbanker is too large or heavy. The MICRO Banker is an ultralight, backpack-friendly highbanker built around a removable 4" × 16" Adventure Sluice with Dream Mat recovery technology.

The complete MICRO Banker unit weighs under five pounds and includes a matched 750 GPH, 12-volt pump, four feet of 3/4-inch hose, adjustable water flow, solid aluminum legs, a removable hopper, and flexible spray-bar options.

It is an excellent portable system for sampling new locations, working remote creeks, processing small batches of bank material, and recovering fine gold from concentrates.

Serious Gold Recovery in an Ultralight Package

Large equipment can limit how far you are willing or able to travel. The MICRO Banker is designed for prospectors who want a practical highbanker that can be carried into remote locations without adding excessive weight to their gear.

Its assembled footprint is approximately 22 inches long, 8.5 inches wide, and 9 inches high. The compact highbanker can be packed into areas where a full-size system would be difficult to transport or operate.

Dream Mat Adventure Sluice

The MICRO Banker uses a removable 4" × 16" Adventure Sluice equipped with Dream Mat. The molded cells create active vortex zones that help concentrate heavy gold while allowing lighter material to move through the sluice.

The sluice slides out of the highbanker for fast cleanup. Remove it, rinse the captured concentrates into a gold pan or bucket, reinstall it, and return to processing.

Two Water-Delivery Configurations

Configure the upper water system to suit the material being processed:

• Traditional U-shaped spray bar for distributed water coverage

• Dual blast nozzles for more concentrated washing action

A ball valve provides additional water-flow control. The spray assembly uses 1/2-inch PVC and connects to the included 3/4-inch hose.

Designed for Sampling and Remote Prospecting

The MICRO Banker is particularly useful when checking new locations. Its small footprint and manageable water requirements let you process test material more efficiently than panning every shovel by hand.

Once a productive area is identified, the unit can continue working smaller quantities or be used to determine whether moving larger equipment into the location is worthwhile.

What Else You’ll Need

• Water source or recirculating tub

• Container for discharged material

• Gold pan or cleanup container

• Properly classified gold-bearing material

Operating Tips

Start with a moderate sluice slope and use the ball valve to establish active movement in the Dream Mat cells. Feed material gradually and avoid burying the mat. If material begins accumulating faster than it clears, reduce the feed rate or adjust the water flow.

Test your tailings during initial setup. Gold-bearing material varies, so water flow, slope, classification, and feed rate should be adjusted at each location.

• Backpack gold prospecting
