Upgrading low grade gold ore stockpiles

Sensor-based automatic ore sorting technologies are used in the minerals industries to efficiently remove waste and sub-marginal grade material from crushed and screened run of mine (ROM) ore, producing a coarse (typically >10 mm) upgraded pre-concentrate at an early stage in the mineral processing circuit.

The Simple Facts about Sampling Gold Ores

ore can demystify the whole issue, from sampling of coarse ore down to the required analytical aliquot that is needed to control the analytical uncertainty due to the heterogeneity of the comminuted sample. This approach can be expanded to take into account the dilution of ore by barren material.

Fine Ore Storage Bin and Stock Pile

The trajectory of the ore as it leaves the conveyor belt will determine where in the bin or pile each size of the crushed ore will land. Once in the bin, another stage of classification takes place. The smaller ore due to its lesser size and weight, tends to filter downwards faster than the coarse material does.
