HPY Ore Sorting Solutions
Solving Key Challenges in Modern Mining
HPY sensor-based ore sorting helps mining operations upgrade ore, reject waste early, reduce costs, and unlock more value from existing resources.
Declining Ore Grades
Pre-concentrate ore with sensor-based sorting to increase feed grade by 20%-1000%.
Tungsten Project in China
At a long-running tungsten mine, sorting increased tungsten dioxide grade from 0.35% to 2.16%, with over 600% enrichment and more than 85% waste rejection
Rising Processing Costs
Reject 30%-90% of waste rock early to reduce processing costs and energy use.
Antimony Project in Myanmar
Sorting increased Sb grade from 0.089% to 0.730% and achieved 98.5% waste rejection, significantly reducing grinding and flotation costs.
Waste Rock Stockpiles
Recover valuable concentrate and repurpose sorted rock as construction materials.
Copper-Cobalt Project in DRC
Historical waste rock was upgraded from Cu 0.42% / Co 0.11% to Cu 1.72% / Co 0.35%, recovering value from material that had occupied large areas of land.
Expansion Bottlenecks
Increase capacity quickly without rebuilding the entire plant to seize market opportunities.
Lead-Zinc Project in Tajikistan
After a new mining method increased dilution, sorting raised Pb+Zn grade from 5.73% to 9.35% and rejected 31.1% waste.
Remote Plant Locations
Reject waste at the mine site to reduce long-distance transport costs and improve logistics efficiency.
Lithium Project in China
With the plant nearly 4,000 km away, sorting rejected 67% waste rock and enriched grade by 200%, thus improving transport efficiency by over 600%.
Tailings Capacity Limits
Remove waste earlier in the process to reduce tailings generation at the source.
Lead-Zinc Project in China
Pre-concentration rejected 17% waste before processing, reducing tailings generation at source and enabling continued operation.
Ore Types Coverage
