Mineral dressing is a necessity in practically all mining operations in order to process the mined ore to marketable products.
Of the various mineral dressing methods, gravity concentration is a simple and widely used process to separate mineral grains of different specific gravities, and its usefulness has been proven for centuries. In fact, nature has given the example by creating alluvial, eluvial and residual ore deposits, in which gravity separation has played a dominating role.
Man has copied nature in this process of concentrating the valuable specific heavy minerals by using sluice boxes, (called palongs in Malaysia) and by using hand tools such as the gold pan, dulang or batea. From these simple devices numerous gravity concentrating machines have been developed, of which the jig can be considered as the most versatile.
