Raw Ore Feed or Old Mine Tailings from the former Craigmont Mine Tailings stockpile is fed through a central loading point that places the material onto a series of conveyor belts. This material then passes from the conveyor belts through a trommel screen, which removes any large unwanted material. The material that passes through the trommel screen is then transformed into slurry prior to entering the process plant.

Once the slurry enters the plant, it is fed through a sequence of magnetic separators, which separate the magnetic material from the non-magnetic material. The magnetic material passes through several 'cleaner' magnetic circuits in a pre-determined sequence as it is upgraded to meet customer quality specifications. The non-magnetic material is then returned to the tailings pond.

In addition to the magnetic separation the ore material also passes through a grinding circuit where it is reduced in size to meet customer specifications.

Once the magnetite is of appropriate quality, it is dried to between 6% and 8% moisture prior to shipping.
