By the end of the 19th Century, Malaya was already the world's largest tin prod u c e r . To d a y, Malaysia only produces less Figure 1: A gravel pump tin mine in Chendriang, than 1.5% of total world pro d u c t i o n Perak in 1989 ( refer to Table 1).
pump pumps all the material up to an elevated 'palong'. 'Palong' is a huge wooden sluice box (Figure 10) to trap and save tin ore. Tailings are dumped into retention ponds (Figure 11) or old mine holes. Water is recycled for use. The cost of setting up a gravel pump is much lower c o m p a r ed to that of a dre d g e . Dredging

The diesel engine is used extensively in gravel pump mines. Some companies use a number of engines of from 200 to 300 horse- power in preference to one large engine with a standby. Mines in the Kinta Valley obtain power from the 27,000- kilowatts station, at Chenderoh, of the Perak River Hydro- Electric Power Company.
Malaysia was the world's leading tin producer and, as you would expect, tin mining is featured in a number of museums around the country, such as Sungai Lembing Museum and Han Chin Pet Soo. This museum in Kampar focuses on the gravel pump method of extraction.
Most of the major operations of gravel pump mining are highlighted. Although most of the information provided is historical in nature, the operations can still be adopted today.
Gravel pump was popular because of its low capital cost and its effectiveness in alluvial mining. A lot of people could and did venture into mining especially in the Kinta valley where tin ore occurred in shallower depths.
