Sky Metals Limited (ASX:SKY) has reported outstanding results from the latest TOMRA ore sorting testwork on tin mineralisation samples from the Tallebung Tin Project in New South Wales. The testwork has demonstrated a substantial increase in tin grade with reasonable recovery of tin in less than 2% of the original mass, highlighting the potential for greater tin grade increases and mass reduction from TOMRA ore sorting.
Sky CEO Oliver Davies expressed his satisfaction with the exceptional potential for low-cost tin production at the Tallebung Tin Project. He emphasized the significant upgrade of tin into a very small mass with more aggressive ore sorting, which reduces potential project Capex and Opex. Davies highlighted the potential to continue optimizing the use of ore sorting in the planning for tin production at Tallebung, aiming to maximize tin upgrade and mass rejection while minimizing any tin losses in the ore sorting process.
