Grande Portage has assembled a drill core composite which is reflective of the anticipated manufacturing from the Conceptual Mine Plan. The composite consists of each ore and waste samples to replicate the anticipated dilution from wall rock (waste) which is inherent with underground blasting of slim ore veins. This core is being subjected to a sensor-based ore sorting check course of on the services of Steinert US Inc, a number one world producer of ore-sorting tools. The aim of ore sorting is to rapidly separate particles of waste dilution rock from the mined materials, with out the usage of chemical reagents.
Sensor-based ore sorting makes use of a wide range of measurements to find out whether or not a particle is ore or waste, together with coloration, electromagnetic induction, and x-ray evaluation to evaluate elemental composition. The crushed rock is positioned on a conveyor belt after which dropped in entrance of the sensor, which quickly analyzes the person items of rock. When a chunk of rock is recognized as waste, a puff of compressed air redirects it to a “reject” bin. The remaining items of rock are despatched to the stockpile of accepted materials. (Fig. 2)
The New Amalga deposit is taken into account an excellent candidate to be used of ore sorting expertise for the reason that wall rock is usually each visually and geochemically distinct from the quartz vein useful resource (Fig. 3).
Ian Klassen, President and CEO feedback: “Sensor-based ore sorting is a well-established expertise at present in use at many mines worldwide, and we’re very excited to be working with Steinert to check its effectiveness on samples consultant of the New Amalga conceptual mine plan.”
Mr. Klassen continued: “Integrating ore sorting into the manufacturing plan might considerably cut back the quantity of mined rock requiring transportation and processing at a third-party facility, decreasing per-ounce prices whereas additionally offering helpful sorter-reject materials for underground backfill as a part of the mining cycle. This may additional improve the present benefits of our proposed direct-ship mine configuration which makes use of offsite processing. It could additionally create alternatives for inclusion of thinner veins into the mine plan – areas of the deposit which in any other case might not have been thought-about viable.”
