Modern Mining: Ore Sorting Technology

The mining industry doesn’t always have a reputation for being an early adopter of leading-edge technology. But innovations will be increasingly important to offset cost inflation and improve mining efficiency and safety in the future, as new mines will generally be increasingly lower grade and higher cost. Ore sorting is one technology that is likely to make a meaningful impact on the mining industry. Pre-concentration can eliminate low grade or otherwise uneconomic material before the expensive and energy-intensive downstream processes.

Metals & Mining analyst Jackie Przybylowski is joined by Anthea Bath, chief operating officer at Ero Copper, and Marie-Claude Halle, CEO and principal consultant at Unearthed Consulting Inc., to discuss the opportunities and risks of ore sorting technology.
