127· Any management strategy to tackle coastal sand mining must begin with understanding underlying processes, in this case, the sand life cycle and the Coastal Sand-Supply Network.
Mineral sands mining In our mineral sands extraction process we use both wet and dry mining techniques. Wet mining involves dredging mineral sands from beneath the surface of a specially created extraction pond, while dry mining utilizes conventional earth-moving equipment such as scrapers, trucks, and excavators to excavate the mineral sands deposit. Following extraction, …
