What's Happening?
Soma Gold Corp is advancing its mineral processing strategy at its El Bagre operation in Colombia using Tomra Mining's sensor-based sorting technology. This technology combines X-Ray Transmission (XRT) with advanced AI to improve process efficiency and
material value. By removing non-valuable material early, the company can better manage feed consistency and reduce processing loads. The technology has shown positive results in test programs, leading to the installation of a COM Tertiary XRT 1200 sorter to enhance operations.
Why It's Important?
The implementation of Tomra's technology represents a significant advancement in mineral processing, offering potential improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By optimizing the sorting process, Soma Gold can increase the value of its mineral output while reducing energy consumption and operational costs. This development could set a precedent for other mining operations seeking to enhance their processing capabilities and environmental sustainability.
