High-grade ore deposits are depleting fast. Consequently, the mining industry has to take on lower-grade deposits, which are more difficult to extract. These deposits require the mining, movement, and processing of larger volumes of material per ton of valuable mineral. The transportation, comminution and processing of these large volumes is expensive and energy intensive.

These low-grade ore bodies generally contain a large proportion of liberated barren gangue, i.e. material of no worth. Bulk ore sorting is a pre-concentration technology in which large volumes of barren gangue are separated from a fully loaded conveyor belt based on the grade measured by sensor(s). Pre-concentration increases the grade of the ore proceeding to the next stage of processing and more valuable metal may be extracted from the resource while avoiding feeding the plant with material that will cost more to process than the respective value of the contained valuable mineral. When sorting is situated in the crushing circuit, the removed waste does not have to be milled further down and processed in the beneficiation plant. The removal of barren material allows also higher throughput of valuables in the downstream process, or major capital investment savings by decreasing plant size. This decreases the use of natural resources such as water or electricity per unit of metal produced.

Join Metso Outotec experts Rashmi, Jorn and Ali as they discuss how pre-concentration is becoming a viable option to increase comminution efficiency and deliver sustainability benefits.
