IHC Holland have been involved in the design and manufacture of mining equipment since the end of the last century Most of this equipment is used in alluvial mining projects allover the world. In the early days, most of the dredgers built for mining were of the bucket type, with sluice boxes, and these were used for gold mining operations. But gradually the emphasis changed to alluvial tin mining. With the fixed, low gold price between 1945 and 1973, hardly any equipment was sold for gold mining projects. Alluvial tin mining, however, continued to develop and bucket dredgers with integrated treatment installations were built in large numbers.

More and more attention was given to the efficiency of the treatment installations, and this ultimately led to the development of the IHC jig. These jigs were first used on the modern bucket dredgers built for use in alluvial tin projects, and after 1973 again for alluvial gold operations.
