Kingsgate Consolidated (ASX:KCN) said a trial of Swedish sensor and software technology provider Hexagon's blast movement technology at the company's Chatree Gold Mine in Thailand generated more than $700,000 in value for a cost of $20,000, according to a Thursday filing with the Australian bourse.
The technology used minimised the potential for ore loss, dilution, and misclassification occurring, the filing said.
The company has now adopted the technology for regular ore control at Chatree on an ongoing basis, the filing added.
