the SAG mill and pebble recycle stream. Based on experience and the energy curve database, a typical primary crusher and the SAG mill can be assumed 1,000 m apart, consuming about 0.44 kWh/t in conveying power. Another 250 m of conveying can be assumed to be required for the pebble
However, the SAG mill specific energy is calculated using proprietary models and the specific ball milling specific energy is the differential between the SAG mill and total specific energy requirements. This method acknowledges the limitations of using the P 80 of the transfer size between the SAG mill and the ball mill.

Ausenco's comminution optimisation tool, Ausgrind, was used to benchmark and analyse plant data with empirical models, predict circuit performance for varying ore …
The Spent Potlining Project involved the design and construction of a treatment facility for spent potlining material (a waste product from the aluminum smelting process). The flowsheet consisted of feed preparation, an air swept SAG mill, air classification circuit, baghouse, product handling, calcination and hydrometallurgical treatment of ...
This was presented at the 7th SAG Conference in Vancouver. This work was a collaboration between three organisations: JKMRC at The University of Queensland's Sustainable Minerals Institute, Barrick's Cortez mine and JK Tech. It shares an advanced mine-to-mill approach that unlocks improved SABC production capacity at Barrick's …
This paper presents a critical review of underperforming AG/SAG mills based on public domain information comparing design expectations with actual operational performance. …
SAG Mill power draw models are used in mill design and grinding circuit modelling to predict how much power will be consumed by a particular mill geometry and operating configuration. This paper will compare SAG mill models by Morrell, Loveday (using "Power Numbers" published by Barratt) and Austin against several published mill …
Copper; Gold; Precious Metals. Carrapateena is a copper-gold deposit located in South Australia's remote and arid Gawler Craton, approximately 160 km north of Port Augusta. Awarded on a fixed price EPC contract, we delivered the 4.5 Mt/y copper concentrator within a 20-month construction period. Capacity throughput was achieved within a 4 ...
It was built by Ausenco of Australia as part of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract. "The property is operated and owned 90% by Sabodala Gold Operations, a Senegalese …
Ausenco has been involved with CEEC initiative as the founding member of energy efficiency processes. ... This is the only circuit of its type where HPGR technology has been used to increase the capacity of a SAG mill by crushing the feed stream and producing a very fine SAG mill feed.

This paper presents a critical review of underperforming AG/SAG mills based on public domain information comparing design expectations with actual operational performance. Actions taken in operations to mitigate the issues and optimise mill performance are listed, including a high level discussion on capital and operating costs.
In a recent publication (Bueno and Lane, 2011) we presented the analysis of a consolidated dataset composed by 134 AG/SAG mill pilot trials. By comparing the measured data against theoretical ...
Magino project: Unlocking the value at the mine site. Ausenco beat out existing consultants to win a fixed-price EPC contract to deliver a gold processing facility and other site …
Reducing the F80 (80% of the feed size) to the SAG mill by 10mm will result in a 3-6% increase in SAG mill throughput, with the magnitude ... depending on the ore characteristics and the mill operating conditions; Source Ausenco; reducing the F80 will also result in an improvement in overall comminution-circuit energy efficiency when …
He then compared a range of existing autogenous milling techniques – such as Vertical Roller Mills, High Pressure Grinding Rolls and Autogenous (AG) milling – and their flowsheets to SAG milling to show the potential upside of the different approaches (spoiler alert: AG milling far outperforms SAG milling in terms of operating cost and CO2 ...
Ausenco Services Pty Ltd (Ausenco), was engaged to help optimise and enhance the productivity of the Phu Kham comminution circuit over an eight-month period. The work involved participating in and overseeing the redesign of the SAG mill liner systems and developing operational strategies for maximising throughput through to the end of mine life.
