Our Process Mining Separation Reclamation Shipping
Mining Process We use Bulldozers, loaders, Excavators, and a series of conveyers ORC does Surface mining at mine site
Raw product is brought in by haul trucks and it looks like dirt Separates High Mineral Content (HMC) from dirt by using water and gravity HMC is more dense causing gravity to not separate it out.
Drymill separates HMC into Chromite, Zircon, High Iron, and Garnet We electrostatic and electromagnetic separation
Product is put into sacks using a bagging machine Bags are stacked and stored Bags are palletized to ship domestically
The ways we ship our product
ORC has a unique approach in reclaiming land that was mined in a process called reclamation. We return land to its natural state and plant trees and grass. The mining process eliminates “Hard Pan” making it easier for trees to grow and build deeper root systems
