ORE SORTING n Removal of deleterious minerals , such as talc and other acid consumers , reducing the cost and enhancing the performance of downstream processing ; and n Separation of oxides and sulphides , allowing for significant process optimisation and maximum benefit to be achieved from each resource .

“ Each Rados XRF + sorting solution also provides a platform for ore stream digitalisation to facilitate downstream process improvement
and optimisation ,” the company said .
Rados overlays this with performance and cost warranties to ensure delivery of the value proposition the company outlines following test work .
“ Provision of these warranties is possible because XRF + sorting equipment is robust , due to operationally-proven state-of-the-art-applied engineering features that facilitate optimal performance and availability , even in difficult operating environments ,” the company said .
In terms of copper operations , Rados XRF + sorting solutions can provide significant client value propositions through , the company says , upgrade of ROM ore streams , discard ore stockpiles ( useful in mining-constrained environments ) and mill pebble circuits .
In addition , Rados XRF + sorting solutions facilitate unique bespoke beneficiation solutions for copper processing , including , it says :
‘ Pit-to-mill ’ visibility
MineSense Technologies is striving for accurate separation of oxides and sulphides in copper operations thanks to the planned introduction of a new sensor integrated with sophisticated software and a bank of expanding machinelearning algorithms .
Unlike all the other companies mentioned above , MineSense ’ s name has been made on an XRF-based sensing solution predicated on analysing material within a shovel .
In open-pit mines , this sees sensor units installed in the buckets of hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders , while in the underground space , the solution is fitted to the bucket of an LHD .
Jeff More , President of MineSense , says his company firmly believes that nothing can compete with sorting at the face and the dataset that comes off its ShovelSense units .
“ On-belt solutions are obvious and comfortable for a pretty conservative industry , celebrating 40 years of Hillhead
