INTRODUCTION Cortez Gold Mines commenced operation in 1969 with its Mill #1 rated at a nominal 2,000 tons per day. Mill #1 was a conventional rod mill/ball mill circuit followed by an 8-stage CIP circuit. In the early 1990s the Pipeline deposit was discovered and subsequently Mill #2 was built to process the increased ore volume.

The main grinding circuit at Les Mines Selbaie consists of two mills, one SAG mill in closed circuit with an 8' x 20' vibrating screen with 700 micron deck, and one ball mill. The SAG mill is 8.23m (27') diameter x 3.75m (12.3') long. The Holt-McDermott grinding circuit uses a large primary SAG mill which is 5.03m (16.5') diameter x

(AG) circuits and primary single stage SAG circuits followed by secondary ball milling. After comminution the pulp is normally dilute and thickening (6-12% solids by mass) is performed to increase the pulp density to about 50% solids by mass. This reduces the size of the leaching plant that would be required as well
Energy consumption represents a significant operating expense in the mining and minerals industry. Grinding accounts for more than half of the mining sector's total energy usage, where the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) circuits are one of the main components. The implementation of control and automation strategies that can achieve …
In order to select a suitable circuit for a magnetite ore plant in Hebei province, China, three different comminution circuits (i.e., jaw crusher + HPGR mill + ball mill, jaw crusher + ball mill, and SAG mill + ball mill) and their overall specific energies were compared based on simulations from JKSimMet and Morrell models. In addition, the ...
A voltage sag is a partial reduction in RMS Voltage that usually lasts from 0.5 to 30 cycles. A momentary interruption is a complete loss of AC power which can be 0.5 cycles to minutes in duration. They may occur naturally …

As it turned out, designers are now adding secondary or pebble crushers to SAG circuits, on both greenfield and retrofit projects, to increase feed rate to the SAG mill. In other words, crushing plants, from primary to quaternary circuits, are here to stay. There are three main steps in designing a good crushing plant: process design, equipment

Circuits, however, are more sensitive to variations in circuit feed characteristics of hardness and size distribution; unlike crushing plants for which throughput is largely volumetrically controlled, AG/SAG throughput is defined by the unit power required to comminute the ore to the closing size attained in the circuit.
It can be very effective in increasing SAG throughput for a small increase in installed power, therefore reducing the overall specific energy consumption across the SAG circuit.
The larger units can also be matched with the SAG mill in SAB/SABC configuration. Stirred mills (Regrinding). Finer regrinding or ultra-fine grinding is a frequent requirement in pilot plants and ALS has a range of units that can run continuously in pilot applications.

Best practice design methods will allow any reasonable transfer size to be used in a SAG mill circuit plant design from 0.1 to 3.35 mm. There are many reasons why this is an asset for a project. It will now be shown, by means of an example, what the scope of alternate designs look like for a typical ore.
The capital cost penalty of an HPGR circuit is also mitigated because the milling plant tends to be a smaller component of the overall project capital cost – plus designers might over-size a SAG ...
