VTX commissions laser ore sorter

Highlights:

  • Ore sorter/pre-concentrator now being commissioned at the Hill End gravity gold plant.
  • With the new sorter installed, TOMRA technicians are commissioning the laser sorter and incorporating it into the Hill End gravity gold plant.
  • The sorter commissioning is being undertaken while the gravity concentrator is commissioning/processing gold ore.
  • VTX operators are being trained by Gekko technicians.
  • Reward gold mine ore sorts perfectly, with 79% mass reduction and 337.20% increase in grade in the 8 mm to 50 mm range.

Vertex’s Executive Chairman, Roger Jackson, commented:

“The ore sorting installation and commissioning is very exciting as this presents incredible commercials and environmental benefits for Vertex. It has been shown that Reward gold ore is perfectly suited for this technology. Upgrading the Reward high-grade ore material to an even high grade significantly reduces the processing costs and increases the returns per tonne."
