 The dredge was considerably modified by the Alluvial Mining Equipment Co Ltd to make it suitable to dredge the above leases, as conditions of the lease to rehabilitate the tailings required a by-pass conveyor to be installed.The dredge was required to excavate a depth of overburden which by-passed the treatment plant and was deposited over the tailings at the stern, and to dig below water level into the ore bearing sand and gravel.The re-erection of the dredge was completed on the Battle Creek area in November 1957 and commenced working upstream, until 1962 when it worked south across the highway.
