An expert in concept and strategy development for mid- to large-size advertising campaigns, he has a proven ability to motivate, inspire and deliver superb creative work under tight deadlines.

Panning for Gold, California The simplest technique to extract gold from placer ore is panning. In panning, some mined ore is placed in a large metal pan, combined with a generous amount of water, and agitated so that the gold particles, being of higher density than the other material, settle to the bottom of the pan. The lighter material such as sand, mud and gravel are then washed over the side of the pan, leaving the gold behind.
