Milling for improvement at Mount Isa Mines
Mount Isa Mines Metallurgy Superintendent, Lucian Cloete, identified an opportunity to reduce overall ball consumption by 25-30 per cent by adjusting the ball load in the SAG Mill from eight (8) per cent to six (6) per cent and in the Ball Mills from 40 per cent to 30-32 per cent, with the additional benefit of reducing the power draw on the mills.
