But within the mine, maybe only 2 percent of the rock we mine is valuable mineral and the other 98 percent is waste. In order to do the separation between the valuable minerals and the waste minerals, we need to grind them very finely down to, let's say less than a tenth of a millimetre before we can do the separation. This is called …
