NextOre Ltd

NextOre is the global exclusive supplier of MR analysers, which lead the mining industry in speed and accuracy of grade measurement for whole-of-ore grades on conveyor belts. 
MR stands for Magnetic Resonance, a similar technology to that of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI machines, which have been used for decades in the healthcare industry. Developed by researchers at CSIRO, Australia's federal research organization, to provide the fastest and most accurate bulk grade measurement of any available technology. 
Bulk ore sorting evaluates the contained economic minerals and associated value of ore in bulk 'pods', as opposed to particles of rock, and separates pods of high value from waste. 
Bulk ore sorting is typically done on-conveyor, where a pod represents several linear meters of primary crushed ore weighing between 50kg and 5 tonnes, depending on the operational throughput of the mine and sensing intervals. 
MR Analysers directly measure the mineral content of 100% of material on the conveyor belt, regardless of its size, shape, moisture content or rock type. 
The technology is highly penetrative, and the sensor is designed to have an even measurement field within the full sensor volume. A critical component to the installation of ore sensing grade measurement is in systems implementation and support.  NextOre provides guidance and assistance services for companies seeking to implement these technologies in terms of technical suitability analysis, business case development and implementation / change management.

NextOre launched the world’s first MR analyser for Underground Copper Trucks. The OGX is a 3 metre wide sensor capable of analysing the grade of up to 50 tonnes of material in less than 60 seconds providing real time data to inform ore routing decisions. By enabling real-time ore grade measurement, the sensor provides operators with critical insights to:

• Reduce unnecessary haulage by selectively rejecting low-grade material at the source.
• Improve ore blending and downstream processing efficiency.
• Optimise material movement from satellite orebodies to central processing plants.
• Enhance overall productivity while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
