However, total grinding throughput was still restricted by the AG mill, so this was converted to a SAG mill operation in late 1999. MIM now effectively had "three gears" for its Copper Concentrator grinding circuit. The grinding circuit was operated in two modes that optimised the feed rate to give constant unit costs.

Crushing and milling account for just over 50% of copper mine site energy consumption 3 making them a primary target for cost reduction. The goal is to grind the ore just enough for optimum copper mineral liberation in the froth flotation plant circuit. Under-grinding reduces recovery; overgrinding reduces throughput and wastes energy.
