Procedure

1. Crush 2kg of gold reference ore sample of BBWI 14.75kWh/t and 2kg of unknown
ore to -6 mesh.
2. Riffle out two 1kg samples of both the known reference ore and unknown ore.
3. Select a 1kg sample of each ore and determine PSD. Valid sample requirement
must have P80 between 1.8-3.5mm.
4. Plot cumulative percent passing vs micron size points and determine F u, Fk using
log-log interpolation. Also find interval including 80% passing particle size.
5. Grind 1kg of unknown dry ore for 300 revolutions in the Bond mill. Riffle 500g for
sieve analysis down to 100 mesh. Keep -100 for Cyclosizing demonstration.
6. Repeat step 5 for known dry ore.
7. Plot weight cumulative percent passing vs particle size and find p u and pk using
log-log interpolation.
8. Calculate Wiu.
9. Run the Cyclosizer using -100 mesh sample.
