QKR’s Navachab gold mine in Namibia has ordered two new KSS ore sorters from STEINERT, upgrading from a mono- to multi-sensor sorting solution in the process.

The two new units will replace and upgrade STEINERT XSS-T X-sorting systems after seven years running time, STEINERT says.

The option for a multi-sensor has proven to improve process results with an important increase in gold recovery, according to the company. It added that the applicability of dry sensor-based sorting technology has proven over the years of production with great enhances on ESG aspects, especially on water savings.

Back in 2021, STEINERT set up a new testing plant at Navachab, with the test facility available for testing in beneficiation and pre-concentration processes.
