Understanding Mine to Mill is presented in five parts. Part A – Setting the Scene provides some definitions of Mine to Mill (M2M) and the historical background. A chronology of Mine to Mill developments is followed by brief descriptions of the very wide range of Mine to Mill applications which have been implemented over the last 15 years.

To achieve SAG mill equipment optimization, you should combine practical experiencewith pass-or-fail evaluation studies that modulate project resources or operational conditions. We do not recommend that you carry out a project only with in-the-field trial- and-error-testing.

Before the change, the SAG mill power utilisation was about 65.1%. This increased to 72.4% post the grate change. An analysis of production data following the change in 2016 showed 80% SAG mill power utilisation. Comparing pre and post optimisation production datasets, the impact of the changes became apparent.
