New Mount Isa Mines copper concentrator Ball Mill improves the daily grind

By intensifying the amount of grinding power within the circuit, a finer grind size (similar to the width of a human hair) has been achieved to maintain the same throughput volumes, while preserving copper recovery. Originally designed in the early 1970's, only a handful of components differ between the new and existing mills onsite.
