I can get about an ounce a day if you average it over 5 days in spots on the river. Look at it under a scope and you'll see the float gold is very tiny platelets which gives it a lot of surface for its weight compared to if it was a ball. Using liquid dish detergent in your dredge will increase your take four fold. Flour gold floats due to waters surface tension. Rough your pan up a little with fine sandpaper before you use it. There is a neat old dredge rotting on the banks of the Sask river by Frenchmans Butte from the big ol' dredging operation from long ago that's worth studying. Usually in the top 2 inches of the bars if it is at Devon because of all the dredging that went on. There is only flour gold that I know of in Alberta. I have a pretty effective little dredge and a micron seperator from GoldFinder out of St. The battle river has some in spots but I've not spent enough time with research there to make much hay. I've found it in certain washes around Norgeg.
I haven't gold panned or sluiced for about 10 years but I used to do well in the North Sask River by Devon, by Deer creek bridge, by Pine Island (not the island itself since it is a protected historic site, old fur trader fort) and a couple other spots on the river.
