A Queensland computer program is set to help diamond miners worldwide maximise their yield.

The program's developers, Partition Enterprises, will travel to Johannesburg this September and showcase their products at the Electra Mining 2004 Exhibition.

Partition has been working with the world's largest diamond mining company, De Beers and the University of Queensland to develop computer programs to calibrate diamond sorting machines used in mining. Using Partition's program, mining companies will be able to calibrate their density separator x-ray sorting machines more accurately and maximise their diamond yield.
