That I don’t know Tony. Our recent hire has experience with mobile sorters I think, which is very welcomed. I think the trial mining etc will look different to the commercial mining unit. When they know what configurations etc are best for the sorters, what throughput, how many sorters are needed etc, then they should be able to make an optimal mining unit. Maybe it will all be mobile or maybe they will have a sorting hub that moves around at times to keep up with the continuous miner. Just some thoughts from an amateur.
Erik, any idea how they get the sorters into the field? Do they mount them in a flat bed tractor trailer and move it from swale to swale?
