MINE TO MILL OPTIMISATION FOR CONVENTIONAL GRINDING CIRCUITS A SCOPING STUDY A. Jankovic and W. Valery, JKMRC, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia (Received 18 June 2002; accepted 6 October 2002) Abstract The scoping study a for a Mine to Mill optimisation program was carried out in a gold mine in Australia. The specific objective of ...
In addition to developing, managing, and directing technology and innovation in various capacities, Walter is a recognized specialist in comminution and mine-to-mill optimization .
In the late 1990's, researchers at the University of Queensland have proposed a concept popularly called "Mine to Mill Optimisation" and demonstrated that all the processes in the mine to mill value chain are inter-dependent and blast fragmentation (or particle size distribution) play a critical on downstream processes especially on the ...
Dr Pokrajcic's case studies showed how PRODFINDER helps companies predict and optimise across the value chain (e.g. mine-to-mill). A mineral processing professional with 20 years' experience in the global mineral industry, Zeljka specialises in the commissioning, operation and optimisation of comminution and separation circuit.
The Mine to Mill methodology was developed during the commodity price downturn of the 1990s and was widely adopted at numerous sites around the world. Mine to Mill relies on the fact that comminution is usually the site processing bottleneck and that blasting is more efficient at breaking rock than grinding.
A well-designed mine-to-mill optimization project can achieve productivity gains in the range of 10-20% with minor operational changes or cost impacts. But establishing baseline performance and optimizing feed size requires continual analysis at various stages in the size reduction process.

Another example of Mine-to-Mill optimization is the increase of the SAG mill throughput in Porgera mine, Papua New Guinea, where by using this concept studies showed that was possible, by optimizing the blasting design, reaches up to 25% of increase in processing capacity (Grundstrom, Kanchibotla, Jankovich, & Thornton, 2001).
Considered as a powerful strategy for those professionals involved adding value to mining companies, thus, productivity and high profit, this course-workshop brings experts from Australia who implemented these tools in different top mining companies in the world; likewise, it includes a discussion panel with professionals who participated in successful Mine to Mill applications.
Eoin H. Macdonald, in Handbook of Gold Exploration and Evaluation, 2007. Technical aspects of the study. The contents of the section dealing with deposit geology should be described in sufficient detail to allow an experienced assessor to form a considered judgement on matters relating to the resource estimation, the manner of testing, the proposed mine plan and metallurgical treatment.

One of the key focus areas for mine to mill optimization has been high-energy blasting, an initiative first introduced at Carmen de Andacollo (CDA). "Ore needs to be ground finer than flour and the most efficient way to start that process is when the rock is still intact, in the ground," said Glenn. "When we apply explosive energy to the ...

Mine-To-Mill Optimisation: Effect Of Feed Size On Mill Throughput Blasting provides the first opportunity for comminution – or size reduction. It is also a cheaper and more efficient process, compared to both crushing and grinding.
Mine-to-mill optimisation: effect of feed size on mill throughput. Over the past 15 years, mine-to-mill studies have focused attention on the impact blast fragmentation has on concentrator throughput. Blasting provides the first opportunity for comminution – or size reduction. It is also a cheaper and more efficient process, compared to both ...
