Knowledge of the structural and morphological characteristics, combined with the quantitative evaluation of mineral abundance, is fundamental for determining the grade of ore deposits.

1. Ore quality can be defined as the set of physical indicators of the ore which determines the level of extraction of valuable components from the ore in a particular technical process. 2. The most important indicators of ore quality are the contents of the metal extracted, the grain size of the mineral extracted, and the phase composition of the metal. 3. The main …

Abstract. Mineral resource evaluation should provide a basis on which economic decisions can be taken. At least, four aspects can be identified if a mining project is evaluated, technical ...

Mineral resource estimation - Wikipedia. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning …

Sensor-based ore sorting is a technology used to classify high-grade mineralized rocks from low-grade waste rocks to reduce operation costs. Many ore-sorting algorithms using color images have been proposed in the past, but only some validate their results using mineral grades or optimize the algorithms to classify rocks in real-time.

Due to the sample characteristics, ROC parameters were assigned by manually combing high contrast particles in the products out after sorting (magnesite and quartz cases) or by using the product grades and recoveries (hematite, lignite, copper ore and gold ore cases). The methods for ROC evaluation and the particle size figures of …

The evaluation and prediction of flotation performance based on FI alone was then systematically explored and compared with SE, the traditional evaluation parameter. We use single minerals, simple binary mixtures and an industrial ore to establish the essential foundations of our approach in this initial investigation.

The scoring system uses multiple parameters based on key characteristics specific to each deposit type. The key characteristics are chosen based on known occurrences of the mineral in deposits around the world, known occurrences in Alaska, and previous research relating to the geologic processes responsible for the formation of …

High resolution X-ray computed tomography studies have been conducted on a variety of ore types, contributing to petrological and genetic investigations, as well as applied aspects such as economic evaluation, ore processing, and commodity recovery. 3.1. Differentiation of ore minerals with computed tomography

There are three basic approaches to valuation and all depend on the technical knowledge of the valuator: Cost approach – based on assessment of contribution of costs to value. Market approach – based on comparison of the subject mineral property with the transaction value of similar properties; includes comparable transactions and analysis ...

1. Introduction1.1. Sensor based particle sorting. During the past 20 years, significant research and development programs have studied the application of sensor based sorting for improving productivity in the mining industry (Wotruba, 2006).Bamber demonstrated 20% energy reduction and cost savings through pre-concentration using …
