674 To quantify the increase in economic value derived from implementing ore sorting technology in the LOM25 base plan, the incremental fine tonnes were estimated for each metal evaluated. Based on the total additional fine tonne, the gross economic value was calculated using the metallurgical recoveries and the average metal prices considered in the base plan. The financial evaluation was subsequently performed, considering the deduction of implementation costs (CAPEX and OPEX) and other costs to be considered.
