Not sure how the ore sorting reduces Capex except I remember LR or Myles saying that some aspects of the plant can be smaller. Obviously you have to invest in the ore sorting equipment itself which won't be cheap, nothing is. The operating costs are definitely reduced as you are carting less waste ore to the smelter, so a positive impact on transport costs and smelter fees I assume. Seems the biggy is bringing previously non-economic areas of the resource into play as Trade says.
