In the field of mining, an improvement in process flowsheet technology and apparatus for preparing run-of-mine oil sands ore for a subsequent process step in which oil sand can be conditioned in a series-wise combination of continuous process steps by feeding water and oil sands ore into a mixing drum rotating about a substantially horizontal axis, in which the combined steps of mixing, tumbling and heating the oil sands in a water bath during a controlled residence time are effective both in breaking down lumps of the ore into smaller sized pieces and in liberating bitumen from the particulate components of the oil sands ore so as to produce a pumpable oil sand slurry.
