As I understand it, sorters will enable miners to transport more of a concentrated ore to the mills, thereby increasing the head grade. It just occurred to me that Rob McEwen was saying the other day that in 10 years everybody will be using sorters.
No, not really.
Sorters cannot be effectively used on every deposit . They are being applied (in our case) specifically to coarse gold hosted in conglomerate or aggregate ore. Coarse gold that must be physically extracted.
There are other gold deposits that are refractory in nature and more complex. Where gold is in solution within the hosting ore. These deposits require a more complex chemical extraction operation.
