KEYNOTE: HPGR in Gold Leach Applications – an Overview
Re-thinking the standard approach of leaching gold ores with new HPGR flowsheet and process concepts may actually achieve metallurgical results thus far believed to be out of reach. The concept of de-sliming prior to leaching, which was advocated by Herkenhoff and Dean in 1987, has become of considerable significance with the use of HPGR.

Energy Use in Comminution in a Global Context | 5
Direct energy use in the comminution processes is reviewed. It is shown that 0.43% (87 TWh) of the global net electrical energy consumption of 20,000 TWh per annum is used to crush and grind non-ferrous ores. Of this, 33% and 53% of the energy is required to process gold and copper ores, respectively. This suggests that alternative energy ...
