Iron Ore on a conveyor [image 135-1-1] Digging ore from the earth is only half the battle. Often just as challenging and costly is the processing of the ore, which takes place in mills, smelters and refineries. Processing requires crushing and grinding to liberate the minerals. After liberation, separation processes are used to concentrate the ...
and tertiary circuits. 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:
The Martabe plant consists of single stage crushing, semi-autogenous grinding and ball milling (with the SAG mill close-circuited with a pebble crusher), and a carbon-in-leach circuit. The cash cost per ounce equation is a work in progress, Albert explained.
The mining process at Macraes is circular and follows a cycle of exploration, mining, processing and rehabilitation and closure.
