TOMRA's XRT Technology Enables Mining Waste to Generate Revenue as Aggregate
TOMRA's X-ray Transmission (XRT) sorting technology allows mines to convert waste rock into a low-sulphide waste stream for reuse or sale as aggregate. EQ Resources at the Mt Carbine tungsten operation in Queensland, Australia, reports an annual revenue increase of A$5 million (US$3.5 million) from this method. The approach also reduces environmental risks and creates opportunities for on-site infrastructure use. Wolfram Bergbau Mittersill in Austria similarly utilizes waste material for infrastructure and sales, with up to 40% of mined material classified as coarse waste.

TOMRA's X-ray Transmission (XRT) sorting technology helps mines remove acid-forming materials, creating a low-sulphide waste stream for reuse or sale as aggregate. At the Mt Carbine tungsten operation in Queensland, Australia, EQ Resources reports generating an additional A$5 million (US$3.5 million) in annual revenue by selling sorted waste.
This method reduces environmental risks and supports on-site infrastructure. In Austria, Wolfram Bergbau Mittersill also transforms waste into usable material for road construction and local supply, with 25-40% of run-of-mine material classified as coarse waste.
