AMN Alluvial Mining Field School

Alluvial Mining is a dependable source of generating extra income but this fact is known to only a few people.

Notwithstanding its notoriety because of the way it is currently being practiced and the associated environmental concerns, there are still best practices and more responsible ways to approach it with the right knowledge.

Learn all you need to know to do it right from the AMN Alluvial Mining Field School if you would like to engage in a profitable and responsible Alluvial Mining Business.

The two-day Field School is made up of 12 online presentations on day one and a Field Visit on day two to a model operating mine in the eastern region.
