TOMRA Mining Outlines its Mission

TOMRA Mining says its mission is to support the mining industry and enable a sustainable starting point for future businesses, industries and societies by harnessing its leading sorting technology and know-how to transform how natural resources are extracted and processed.

Their sensor-based sorting solutions can be used to eliminate waste effectively in the early stages of the process, so that less barren or low-grade ore is processed, with consequent cost savings. The company says that these technologies significantly reduce the amount of energy and water used compared to traditional methods like DMS (Dense Media Separation), while maximizing the efficiency and recovery of valuable ores. In addition, its sensor-based sorting technologies enable mining operations to extract value from existing stockpiles of contaminated rock as well as turning waste into certified clean aggregates, generating a new income stream. The benefits are efficient mining, lower costs, improved profitability and a reduced impact on the environment.

"Mining is an essential industry enabling our modern world and faces the challenge of meeting the huge rise in demand driven by the energy transition with sustainably mined resources. As we look to the future, it's clear that what we mine and how we process it must be transformed," said Albert du Preez, Head of TOMRA Mining.
