This from EQR linkedin page this morning. The article (link below) talks about history of ore sorting and Mt Carbine gets a large mention. This would suggest that we are in front of the game and it's not a practice that happens everywhere.

Here are the key takeaways and how it applies to our operations at Mt Carbine:
Key messages:
Ore sorting is a powerful technology that can turn previously uneconomical deposits into viable sources of valuable metals.
Historically used in mining, modern ore sorting technology focuses on separating high-grade material from waste before costly processing steps, reducing costs and environmental impact.
Although ore sorting is not always part of initial mine development, it has proven transformational in existing operations like Mt Carbine.
Strategic importance for Mt Carbine:
At Mt Carbine, ore sorting technology has revolutionised our operations by allowing us to process lower-grade stockpiles with remarkable efficiency, drastically increasing recovery of the metal content while removing ~96% of material.
This not only extends the life of our mine but significantly lowers the cost per ton of material processed, making it a key component of our sustainable mining strategy.
With ore sorting, Mt Carbine continues to lead in innovative mining practices, turning waste into valuable tungsten, supporting global tungsten demand while reducing reliance on traditional high-grade mining.
As the demand for critical minerals like tungsten rises, ore sorting is a game-changer, allowing us to maximise resource recovery while minimising environmental impact.
