Abstract
The relationships revealed between ore hardness and specific energy consumed by crushing and
grinding are described in the paper. A comparison of key technical and economical parameters of SAG
and HPGR circuits is made, based on testing of several ore types for greenfield projects. The comparison
of results make it possible to estimate efficiency of the technologies application, depending on ore
hardness and taking into account potential risks for a circuit under design.
