Donald Mineral Sands Project - Astron Corporation Limited

Mineral sands mining involves four main stages: mining, wet concentration, dry separation and rehabilitation. Mining can be performed either by dry mining methods (employing scrapers, dozers and excavators, typical for dunal deposits) or a wet mining process (employing floating dredges, typical for large unconsolidated deposits).
