    They do an excellent job of recovering small gold particles, even with a fairly high feed rate. It has been demonstrated that a simple shaking table is an environmentally friendly method of recovering finegrained gold from both placer and hard rock gold ore. Such tables can have a significant role in the reduction of the use of mercury by smallscale miners by providing them .
