Comminution Circuits for Gold Ore Processing. Mosher, in Gold Ore Processing (Second Edition), 2016. Abstract. This chapter considers comminution for gold ores, starting with breakage induced in the blasting process, continuing through primary crushing, primary milling, and secondary milling. Both technical and operational considerations are reviewed; while gold ore comminution
· Both technical and operational considerations are reviewed; while gold ore comminution is broadly similar to likesized circuits for other mineral processing applications, specific considerations applicable to gold circuits are highlighted.
Ore will be crushed in a twostage crushing circuit, followed by semiautogenous grinding (SAG)/ball milling with installed pebble crusher. The resultant product will pass through comminution circuit, which includes gravity gold extraction, followed by CIL and carbon elution circuits. Infrastructure at Yandal
operations: four gold and three iron ore mines. The average energy needed for seven mines is summarized in figure 2, where the energy requirement is broken down into six components: crushing, grinding, processing, tailings, process water, plant general (ancillary). Adding this energy to the average energy needed for an open pit mine, calculated as 11,766 kWh/kilotonne in [6], or the average
Mt Carlton is an open pit mining operation with ore processed using a primary crusher, single stage SAG mill and flotation to produce a concentrate for sale. Orway Mineral Consultants (OMC) was involved in the original design of the comminution circuit and the project was commissioned in late 2012, with first concentrate shipped in March 2013.

Comminution is the process in which the particle size of ore is progressively reduced until particles of mineral have been separated. Comminution (grinding) consumes up to 4% electrical energy globally [15, 16, 17] and about 50% of mine site energy consumption is in comminution.
Comminution Circuits for Gold Ore Processing ScienceDirect. Comminution size reduction in mineral processing Comminution in mineral processing refers to crushing and grinding operations It s a size reduction process that consists of breaking the ore into small pieces These pieces can be fine size particles or coarse grains depending on two things the size liberation of valuable minerals from
Comminution circuits are used to optimize the liberation of valuable mineral particles from waste rock for downstream separation processes. When the target grind is not achieved (undergrinding), it results in a higher number of unliberated gold particles. This in turn causes a
Comminution circuits for gold ore processing ScienceDirect 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
Comminution circuits are used to optimize the liberation of valuable mineral particles from waste rock for downstream separation processes. When the target grind is not achieved (undergrinding), it results in a higher number of unliberated gold particles. This in turn causes a loss in gold recovery and therefore revenue.
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
The aim of mineral processing is to get the mineral from rock or Ore that has good economic value in the market. Generally, the ability of treating crude material from excavation into mineral
The process flow sheet at Newmont Boddington Gold (NBG) comprises primary crushing, closed circuit secondary and tertiary crushing using High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR), ball milling and hydrocyclone classification to generate a milled product with a P 80 of 150 µm. The ground ore is then floated to produce a gold rich copper concentrate for filtration and sale to overseas smelters
Comminution Circuits for Gold Ore Processing ScienceDirect. South Africa, long known for tube mills (lowaspect semiautogenous mills), continues to contribute. Highpressure grinding roll (HPGR) installations are now well established in the hardrock mining industry, including gold applications, and are now routinely considered as a comminution circuit price. Author: Mosher
The costs associated with power supply, grinding media, and liners used in comminution circuits almost always represent the single largest cost in gold extraction processes (Mosher, 2005). Thus, the efficiency of the entire processing operation is largely dependent on the efficiency of the comminution circuit.
· 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 ore is first reduced in size (typically 80% passing 75µm) to ensure that all non refractory gold is readily accessible for cyanide leaching. There are several variations of comminution circuits used in the gold industry, such as: ➤ Multistage crushing and pebble and/or ball
