Abstract
The mining industry is in need of technological solutions to improve ore feed quality and to reduce the amount of waste rock being processed, thereby increasing economic benefits while reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during comminution. The Lumine™ system, based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, provides such solution for cross-belt mineralogical quantification and is suitable for bulk ore sorting applications. The Lumine™ development pathway will be presented along with performance assessment results.Keywords
