The Concentrator 1 plant at Cadia transitioned from Cadia Hill open pit to the Cadia East block cave ore body in 2013. As a result of this change, major plant upgrades were required to achieve the desired throughput while treating more competent ore.

At the Cadia Valley Operations, Newcrest operates two underground mines and one open pit mine. Ore is processed to a heavily auriferous copper concentrate in a crushing, grinding and flotation circuit. This two-stage grinding circuit consists of a 40 ft SAG mill with a 20 MW Siemens gearless drive and two parallel 10 MW gear driven ball mills.
The design of the 40-foot diameter SAG mill installed at the Cadia Gold Mine, New South Wales Australia, followed after two years of extensive laboratory and pilot plant testwork.

However, achieving this goal is a complex task, as numerous factors impact mill throughput. ... for the Cadia Hill SAG mill circuit, throughput increased by increasing the SAG mill ball charge, reducing the number of lifter rows, reducing the ...
Most hard rock operations have reported pebble recycles above 10% of SAG mill feed (Powell et al. (2006). Cadia Hill SAG milling circuit reported pebble recycle of 34% of feed (Hart et al., 2001 ...
Greatly accelerated liner wear due to high-energy impacts on the liner. For a 5m diameter mill these will be in excess of 8m.s-1, for a 10m diameter mill these exceed 12m.s-1. This causes high chrome liners to spall and crack and they may even fracture. This can reduce liner life from a year to less than a few months.
Summary: The Cadia Hill deposit is a sheeted quartz vein system located almost entirely within the quartz monzonite porphyry phase of the Cadia Intrusive Suite. The predominant alteration is propylitic (chlorite-epidote) with narrow domains of structurally-controlled phyllic (sericitic) alteration. Mineralization is in part related to chlorite ...
1.. IntroductionIt is generally recognised that the most accurate means for predicting the specific energy of an autogenous (AG)/semi-autogenous (SAG) mill circuit is to pilot the circuit using a 6 ′ × 2 ′ mill (Mosher and Bigg, 2001).However, one of the major drawbacks of this approach is that a relatively large sample is required to do so.
The 40-foot diameter SAG mill was designed to treat 2065tph of monzonite ore at a ball charge of 8% volume, total charge of 25% volume and an operating mill speed of 74% of …

A SAG mill, or semi-autogenous grinding mill, operates on the principle of autogenous or self-grinding. It uses a combination of ore and grinding media to break down larger rocks into smaller pieces. Understanding the working principles of a SAG mill is crucial for anyone involved in the mining industry. In this section, we will delve deeper ...
