Evaluation of the Relationship between the Milling Breakage Parameters and Mineralogical Data: A Case Study of Three Copper Ores from a Multi-Mineralised Deposit

Evaluation of the Relationship between the Milling Breakage Parameters and Mineralogical Data: A Case Study of Three Copper Ores from a Multi-Mineralised Deposit

The study evaluated the milling kinetics of three copper ores, from a multi-mineralised deposit, which were identified as sulphide 1 (with bornite as a dominant copper mineral), sulphide 2 (mainly composed of chalcopyrite) and oxide (with malachite as a dominant copper mineral) and related the break...
