Crux Drop Riffle Sluice Matting

Sluice Matting Made Simple

Instead of offering a different mat for every type of gold or operating condition, we wanted a versatile drop riffle profile designed to perform across a wide range of gold sizes, water flows and prospecting conditions.

      Designed and tested on the Fraser River of British Columbia, notorious for ultra-fine flour gold and abundant black sands, Crux Drop Riffle matting is built to capture fine gold while remaining versatile enough for flakes and nuggets. Each section securely interlocks without the need for glue or tape making set up and cleanup fast and easy. Whether you’re running a small sluice, upgrading a highbanker, outfitting a dredge, setting up a commercial wash plant or building a custom recovery system, the goal is the same: effective gold recovery without over-complicating your setup.

      Choose one of our common 6“, 8“, 10” or 12” pre-cut widths, or choose Cut to Fit for custom and larger installations. Each mat section is 9″ long, so you can build the recovery length that fits your equipment without buying more matting than you need.

Comparing Sluice Matting?

There are a lot of gold recovery systems available today, including Dream Mat by Prospector’s Dream, Gold Hog matting and Gold Owl matting. Each takes a different approach to the same goal of separating gold from gravels.

Crux Drop Riffle Sluice Matting was designed around simplicity, versatility and speed. Instead of having to research and combine multiple specialized mat profiles, our modular design is built to operate across a wide range of water flows, sluice angles, material and gold sizes making it easy to tune to your situation. Individual 9″ sections interlock to build the length you need and can be removed independently for fast cleanouts or testing and getting you running again in seconds.
