The invention relates to a method and system for the environmental remediation of materials that are contaminated with heavy minerals, such as heavy metals. The invention finds utility in removing heavy minerals from materials such as soils, sediments, mine tailings and ores. The invention provides a means for removing heavy minerals from contaminated materials without the use of water while reducing the generation of dust. Thus, the invention provides an environmentally friendly method for the remediation of sites that are contaminated with heavy minerals.

A drywasher agitator is configured for use with a hopper and a recovery box. The hopper includes a flow opening formed therein to allow particulate within the hopper to pass through the flow opening and into the recovery box. The recovery box includes a main body and a panel extending from the main body. The agitator includes a wire having a first segment and a second segment. The first segment is connectable to the panel and extends along a first axis and a second segment extends along a second axis angled relative to the first axis. The wire is configured to extend from the panel and into the flow opening during use of the hopper and the recovery box to agitate particulate near the flow opening to mitigate clogging of particulate within the flow opening.
