about ounces and pounds in the
ground. Mining guys are focused on
tonnes, while CEOs are counting the
dollars,” he muses. “I’ve found that
the economic model does a great job
of bringing all those people together
and helping them see the big picture.
How do the ounces, tonnes, and
recovery feed into making a deposit
as economical as possible? What can
we do to reduce the environmental
impact and also make the mine more
profitable? With ore sorting, and other
preconcentration techniques, we can
achieve all of these goals simultaneously.
We can drive growth, while making
tailings ponds smaller, use less water,
less energy, and produce less CO2.
All of this simply by rejecting the
worthless rock earlier in the process.
It’s the future for sustainable mining
and something we’re really excited
about at DRA Global.”
