What is the MineSense™ Solution?

MineSense Technologies is a Vancouver-based mining technology company specializing in mine-mill integration solutions for improving margins at mines, in particular high-tonnage, low-grade operations. Based on our experiences working in a variety of ore types, including nickel sulphides, copper porphyrys and, more recently, nickel laterites, we have identified that significant opportunity exists for the application of mine-mill techniques to enhance metal recovery, lower costs and improve resource conversion at these mines through a combination of improved rock fragmentation/liberation, improved grade control, as well as enhanced waste rejection ahead of the mill – the MineSense Solution. Application of the MineSense Solution at a customer’s mine provides the following typical benefits:

• Reduced energy and water consumption
• Reduced operating costs
• Improved metal recovery
• Increased reserves and life of mine
• Reduced GHG emissions
• Reduced input costs, including reduced size of mill and smelter
• Ease and speed of approvals in the permitting process

Using these techniques, MineSense can turn an unprofitable mine into a profitable mine, extend the life of a mine and increase the amount of valuable ore extracted.
