Photo-based gold measurement for placer miners
Measure recovered gold. Track what your washplant is losing.
Photograph cleaned gold beside the Paystreak calibration card. Paystreak counts and sizes every visible particle, calculates total gold weight, and records each test so you can catch rising tailings losses.
Built for placer mining decisions
Know the gold in each sample—and when recovery drops.
Paystreak turns a calibrated photo into a reviewable record of visible gold count, particle size, and total weight. Run the same test on recovered tailings gold to compare shifts, track loss trends, and see when plant changes are costing you gold.
Measure the visible gold in every sample
The calibration card gives each photo a true scale. Paystreak uses it to count particles, measure their size, calculate gold weight, and produce a result you can review.

Catch gold loss before it becomes a bad cleanup
Test tailings from the same point each shift. Paystreak converts recovered gold and plant throughput into a consistent loss record, making changes in recovery visible over time.
Track washplant losses →Clean the sample and spread the gold so pieces do not touch.
Place the Paystreak card beside it and take a clear photo from above.
Paystreak marks every detected particle. Review the result and correct any misidentified material.
Save the test and compare it with earlier samples or tailings checks.
What the measurement covers
Paystreak measures recovered, visible placer gold.
Use the same sampling, cleanup, and photo process each time for dependable comparisons between pans, shifts, and plant settings. Fire assay remains the right tool for gold that is not visibly recovered in the prepared sample.
