A concentrate of heavy minerals was made from the beach sand deposit at Moana, South Australia. This concentrate was treated by magnetic and electrostatic methods to recover monazite, rutile and zircon. The valuable mineral product was in each case below marketable grade. The original sand contained 0.9 percent rutile, 1.4 percent zircon and 0.1 percent monazite. The recoveries were 51, 43 and 65 percent respectively.
