By using HPY Technology’s sensor-based ore sorting machines for pre-concentration, waste rock is removed during the crushing stages and the company can now mine below cutoff grade areas. Ore sorting can enrich the low-grade ore and remove the excess waste rock for higher resource utilization. Yunnan Tin and HPY Technology have agreed to continue collaborating on ways to incorporate ore sorting to enhance the tin industrial chain and reuse tin-copper waste rock stockpiled to recover valuable minerals.
