Considering the continuous increase in production costs and resource optimization, more than a strategic objective has become imperative in the copper mining industry. In the search to improve the efficiency in the use of resources, the present work develops models of a semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill using statistical analysis and machine learning (ML) techniques (regression, decision ...
Accept All. By this summer, a grinding mill that is bigger around than a Boeing 747 will turn chunks of copper ore into gravelsized bits for smelting and refining. The largest ring gear ...
Copper Mountain Mine, Princeton BC. The SAG/Ball/Flotation circuit was initially designed for 35,000 mtpd. A secondary crushing circuit was installed to exceed the original design and push the mill tonnage rate to 40,000 mtpd. The increased circulating load led to the original SAG Mill discharge screen overloading.
A total of 120 t of Cristalino ore was prepared and sent to CIMM, where it was crushed and screened prior to grinding tests. The processing equipment included a m (8′) diameter by m (2′) length AG/SAG mill equipped with a 20 kW motor, a cone crusher, a m (3′) diameter by m (4′) length ball mill equipped with a 15 kW ...
Ore Testing for AG SAG Grinding Mill Design. The application of autogenous and semiautogenous grinding circuits in recent years has contributed toward substantial savings in capital and operating costs compared to conventional circuits, particularly for large scale copper and molybdenum operations.
The product from the SAG mill is further reduced in size using pebble crushers and ball mills. Hence, typical gold or copper ore requires between and kWh per ton of energy to reduce the particle size. Considering a typical mining operation processes 10,000 to 100,000 tons per day the energy expenditure in grinding is 50 percent of the ...
The three gearless mill drive (GMD) systems are the ABB most powerful ever made. The GMD for the 40foot SAG mill has a power rating of 28 megawatts (MW), and the GMDs for the two 28foot ball mills have a power rating of 22 MW. They are the largest diameter and most powerful SAG and ball mills drive systems at the highest altitude installed to ...
Copper Mountain's concentrator was commissioned in May 2011. The circuit consists of a 34' x 20' EGL SAG mill, a Raptor 900 pebble crusher and two 24' x 39'6" ball mills. Each mill is equipped with a 2 x 8500 HP dual pinion drive system. The plant was designed to process 1585 mtph of SAG feed.

Crushed ore is processed through a flotation circuit fed from a SAG mill. Copper bearing minerals and pyrite are concentrated to deliver grades of 1517% copper, 2030 g/t gold and 5% arsenic on average. The company brought into exploitation a block which has not been included in the mining program schedule so far. Due to the high ...
circuit by further crushing 35% of SAG mill fresh feed. Such figures would represent yearly additions of kt in copper and 250 kg in gold productions. Keywords: grinding; SAG; preprocessing; copper ore 1. Introduction A steady increase in the world copper demand is predicted for the next 25 years of,
In the mining, some precious metals found are like gold, silver, nickel, and copper etc. Ball Mills: Ball mill is a fine grinder. A horizontal or vertical rotating cylinder which is filled partially with the balls of ceramics, small rocks and balls made from stainless steel. The ball charge of a SAG mill is about 29% to 30%. By friction and ...
Copper Installation Deep Dive into Efficiency The Scenario: Using the current footprint, the customer wanted to replace an existing screen in a Sag Mill copper installation with a General Kinematics STMSCREEN™. The SAG discharge screen experienced surges of material (25%40% solids) from the SAG mill, which overloaded their existing screen. During these frequent overload [.]
The high unit capacity SAG mill/ball mill circuit is dominant today and has contributed toward substantial savings in capital and operating costs, which has in turn made many lowgrade, hightonnage operations such as copper and gold ores feasible. Future circuits may see increasing use of high pressure grinding rolls (Rosas et al., 2012).

TIM BURMEISTER. The semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill at the Phoenix Mine is different from most mills. It is a gearless drive and serves as its own motor. TIM BURMEISTER. The semiautogenous ...
only installed a 22 MW SA G mill for a feed rate of 60 000 t/ d, equating to a maximum SAG mill specific energy of approxim ately 8 kWh/t. Figure 8 Comparison of A x b of data adapted from ...
For instance, at Lornex Mining, one of the most successful SAG installations, the ball load varies normally from 67% by volume of the mill; the ball makeup consists usually of 80% 4inch diameter balls and 20% 5inch diameter balls. The ratio of the larger balls is increased when the mill is processing hard ore and decreased with soft ore.
For instance, in a study conducted on a coppergold orebody, it was found that the power consumption of an AG mill is 25% to 30% lower than that of a SAG mill for the same capacity. Lower power consumption in AG mills can result in significant cost savings, making them a preferred choice in many mining operations.
2. Background. The SAG grinding process has been modeled by various authors, either generating explanatory models of the grinding process, with the aim of modeling, simulating, and optimizing the individual process, as well as integrating it into aggregate processes, such as the minetomill (M2M) paradigm, a practice that has generated the capacity to analytically assess aspects of mining and ...
