Vertex Minerals Gets Efficiency Boost with Sensor-based Ore Sorting Tech

Ore processing at Vertex Minerals’ (ASX:VTX) Hill End gold project in New South Wales is getting a boost in efficiency and sustainability with the integration of Tomra Mining’s laser ore sorting technology, according to a report published by Mining Review Africa.

Integrating Tomra’s sensor-based sorting system allowed Vertex to more precisely separate ore from waste rock, thereby improving feed grade and reducing the volume of materials processed downstream, the report noted.

Tomra’s technology further enhances Vertex’s gravity-separation-based processing plant, which eliminates the use of cyanide to extract gold.

A test conducted by Vertex and Tomra at Hill End’s Reward mine achieved a 337 percent increase in gold grade and 79 percent reduction in mass with minimal gold loss, the article reported.
