A preliminary economic assessment was conducted for the Rowan property, situated 80 km from the Madsen Mill in Red Lake, Ontario. Ore sorting was evaluated to enhance project economics and reduce transportation costs. A heterogeneity analysis indicated potential benefits, prompting sample collection for analysis using SRK’s dual-energy X-ray transmission (XRT) sensor. This equipment scans samples to determine the presence of waste and ore. Extrapolating the “waste in ore” data identifies the amount of removable waste material, effectively pre-concentrating the ore before shipment to the mill. This process reduces transportation expenses by minimizing the amount of waste transported.
