In general, comminution considerations for gold milling typically do not differ substantially from those for base metal or other comminution circuits. Also, an increasing portion of gold production comes along with base metals. Many significant gold mining companies, for example, have one or more copper-gold properties in their portfolio.

The primary reason for the significant comminution circuits is because in gold mining the grades are notably low and thus excessive waste material is present, resulting in high mill feed rates. If the ore rock is highly fractured and/or brittle, it is likely that an AG mill be the most economical option in lieu of a SAG mill.

The ore and waste rocks need to be liberated from one another so that the sensors can properly identify each particle for sorting. In general, ore sorters can process particles ranging from 30-120mm in size. As a general rule, the largest particle should be no more than three times the size of the smallest particle for sorting.

Saving Energy In Comminution Circuits. Sepro is working closely with industry leaders to bring energy savings to comminution processes. Using a short blast of high-powered microwaves at the beginning of a comminution circuit heats the ore and cracks it along mineral grain boundaries. This separates the valuable minerals from waste.

At current gold prices this is worth about US$600. Both smelter treatment charges and oxidation or bio-leach costs are at least $200/t of concentrate and payables/recovery in the 90% range, so a minimum GSR for effective downstream processing is around 0.5.

The gold processing industry is experiencing change. As free-milling and oxide ores become depleted, more complex polymetallic and refractory ores are being processed, coupled with increasing pressure for stricter environmental compliance. Recent years have also seen a steady reduction in mineral processing and metallurgy graduates and a gradual loss of older operating experience.
