It started with a problem other equipment wasn't solving.
Our first investor was a gold miner frustrated with how much gold was still being left behind in his black sand concentrates. Even after running material through his Gold Cube two, three, or four times, he was still finding gold.
So he brought Sid a 55-gallon drum cut in half, filled with black sand, and made him a challenge:
“If you can make this work, I’ll buy a machine.”
Sid built and tested the two-stage Riverdance Jig. On the first run, it recovered nearly all the gold, with only a tiny fraction left behind.
That miner didn't just buy a machine. He invested in the company.
Sometimes the best innovations start with a problem that needs solving.
