Larvotto Resources acquires ECORE drill core scanning tech to expedite Hillgrove activities
Larvotto Resources has acquired Elemission’s ECORE drill core scanning system to support exploration and metallurgical development activities at its Hillgrove antimony-gold project in New South Wales, Australia.
The deal will see Hillgrove become the only mine site in Australia with laser ablation and atomic emission spectroscopy capability, highlighting its commitment to using the latest technology to produce the best production results, the company says.
ECORE is an advanced, automated drill core scanner that is providing Larvotto with detailed quantitative mineralogy in near real time. Its high speed is allowing the company to make faster, data-driven decisions across exploration and processing workflows, Larvotto says.
Larvotto Resources Managing Director, Ron Heeks, said: “Integrating ECORE into our workflows provides Larvotto with a powerful new capability to understand the Hillgrove deposit from both geological and metallurgical perspectives. This cutting-edge technology enables us to generate high-quality mineralogical information in hours rather than weeks, significantly improving how we do business from exploration drilling to processing.
“The addition of this capability represents a major step forward in Larvotto’s adoption of advanced, automated mineralogy to optimise project evaluation and process design. As we progress towards commissioning of the Hillgrove project, ECORE supports our intention to continually grow the Hillgrove project in the coming years through ongoing exploration and metallurgical test work. We look forward to taking advantage of what ECORE can offer and realising its value as an advanced exploration and processing tool.”
