- The components of the Dredging operation include a system of spirals on a floating platform, a suction boat and a diesel generator
- A suction hose extends from the suction boat to the bottom of the dredge pond and the material is pumped to a series of screens before entry into the spirals unit
- The spirals unit exploits the differing specific gravities to separate the valuable heavy minerals from the lighter silicate minerals to produce a Heavy Minerals Concentrate (HMC)
- The light minerals are pumped to the tailings containment area and the HMC is stockpiled for use in the MSP
