The Arctic Miner alluvial recovery system was developed in 1985 by Cyril L. Wood (1926-2003) and Lawrence D. Wood in response to ever more restrictive alluvial mining water quality constraints. The Arctic Miner™ flow sheet reduces system water requirements, and enhances fine gold recovery. The Arctic Miner™ is also trade-named Gravimetric Reciculating (Mineral) Recovery System: GRRS™ for short. (Mining)

The original Mk142D was delivered to a mine on the Hammond River 250 miles north of Fairbanks towed by a 1 ton Chevy 6.2L diesel dually truck. A Mk142D was reconfigured to become the Terra Wash™ TW10HM SAFR soil washing unit.

The original Mk242D was delivered to a mine in the eastern Talkeetnas, approximately 100 miles off the road system. The Mk242D was improved as operations dictated, the original single hydrocyclone being replaced with 2 Linatex models that significantly reduced particulate reporting to the header tank.

Arctic Miner alluvial recovery systems are a unique, Alaska-based development brought about by the need to meet or exceed the world`s most stringent water quality standards, yet afford the maximum fine gold recovery from an alluvial deposit. This mineral processing concept was designed to provide a completely self-contained, mobile mineral processing solution. Our first system was built in 1985. In 2003, the Arctic Miner™ was adapted to be used for Small Arms Firing Range remediation/Pb removal. If we`ve learned anything it is this: If they tell you there is no clay in the berm, they are lying. If they tell you the vegetation will be removed, they are lying. (Big smiley face goes here.)
