Mill grind out In order to measure the ball load in the mill, the feed to the mill was stopped and it was ground out to a ball charge only. As a result of slurry pooling in the mill, the surface of the charge could unfortunately not be inspected, and the % ball level was measured relative to the slurry, 398mm below it.

Publisher Summary. For the vast majority of ounces of gold produced, comminution costs in the form of power, grinding media, and liners represent the single largest cost category of milling. Since, semiautogenous grinding (SAG) ballmill circuits represent the single largest type of gold milling comminution circuits, the chapter focuses on SAG.

The SAG mill was installed with a low ball charge, no variable speed and a fine grind was targeted (P80 106 µm). High circulating loads and difficulty achieving the target grind size were experienced. This type of ore should have been treated in a high ball charge SAG mill with variable speed capability.
