Towards grade engineering using X-ray microtomography
By K Barbosa, G Wilkie, F Reyes, V Jokovic, C Evans
The idea behind Grade Engineering is to exploit the natural heterogeneity of an orebody (spatial, temporal) in order to divert low-value waste out of the mining value chain. Essentially, this involves

Direct gold measurement for bulk ore sorting
By Y V. Haarlem, P Coghill, N G. Cutmore, M Millen, I Carter
Due to the low concentration of gold, ore sorting for gold has always required measuring indirect properties, such as density or colour, to allow separation on a rock by rock basis. This only works on
