but not to recommence
-
Significant opportunity, required production
-
Technology advanced significantly during the past decade
-
Commercially proven at multiple mining operations globally • Nickel in Western Australia
-
Gold – multiple operations globally
-
Two rounds of test work on ~500kg (STEINERT)

Two sensors (colour and density) on commercial scale unit
-
Grades of the ore increased by up to 100% compared to the feed sample
Multiple positive impacts on the Project
- Increase annual production to nameplate (3Mlbs/annum) • Ore sorter unit cost – US$2M to US$3M
• Extended mine life
-
Convert low-grade marginal material (400ppm) to more economic feed
-
Decreased operating costs (target <US$30/lb)
-
Increased head-grade
-
Reduced reagent consumption, improved energy efficiency and reduced water consumption
