The apparatus and the process are used for recovering an oil-enriched product from oil-bearing material or materials, such as tar sands. The oil-bearing material is mined using a mining equipment and is sent into the apparatus where an optimum amount of oil-enriched product is removed therefrom. Unlike conventional technologies, only a relatively small amount of solvent is used and most of it is recycled back into an earlier stage of the process. The process does not need a tailings pond since the tailings are substantially dewatered at the end of the process. Further, the tailings are deposited in an adjacent area once they come out of the apparatus. This significantly reduces the material handling and transport undertaking, thereby allowing the process and the apparatus to be operated at substantially lower costs compared to conventional technologies.
