Results from the ore sorting program, which used a set of 100 re-assayed and catalogued 5-cm samples of historical NQ drill core from the Esbarro PGE deposit, demonstrated distinct density responses for mineralized rock types, as well as barren granites and gneisses.
Sensory-based rock sorting technologies such as STEINERT can concentrate ores, remove waste rock and cut process costs to generate significant positive economic implications for both metallurgy and OPEX.
'STEINERT ore sorting testwork was initiated to assess the sortability of mineralized and non-mineralized rock types at Pedra Branca, with the ultimate goal of improving metallurgical performance and processing economics. As part of this test work, the sample set taken from historic NQ drill core was re-assayed and returned the highest-grade value from a drill core sample in the history of the project, clearly demonstrating the presence of high-grade, near-surface PGEs at Pedra Branca,' stated ValOre's Chairman and CEO,
About STEINERT Ore Sorting
XRT is ideally suited for ore sorting because the x-ray radiation can penetrate stones with particle sizes up to 100 mm. In addition to XRT, STERINERT offers further sensors that can be combined with one another in a multi-faceted sensory approach. X-Ray Fluorescence ('XRF') can be used to determine and sort individual chemical elements very precisely. Further, optical sorting and lasers are very well suited to the detection of ores with different colours, such as copper oxide, or crystalline structures in quartz.
