The study utilized XRT and Photon Series sensor technologies, demonstrating the potential to improve feed grades to the processing plant through pre-concentration. Reasoning: The ore-sorting study shows potential for significant grade improvement at the Endako Mine, particularly with XRT technology, though Photon Series results show higher waste rejection. - Positive factor: significant grade enrichment potential - Positive factor: high metal retention in XRT tests - Positive factor: advanced sensor technology demonstrated - Negative factor: small sample size \(50-kg\) - Negative factor: high rejection rate in Photon Series tests Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The study aims to improve feed grade to the existing concentrator and roaster facilities. Evidence · text > improve the overall feed grade to the processing plant **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.
