1.3 System Description
A. The mill and auxiliaries shall meet throughput and grind requirements within the operational
parameters outlined in the Attachment 1. The Pueblo Viejo Project is planned to be completed in
two phases. Phase 1 will be for 18,000 t/d with a future expansion to 24,000 t/d in Phase 2.
During Phase 1 the ore grinding circuit will operate with a SAG mill and a ball mill in series, with
oversized SAG and ball mills to meet the 24,000 t/d future capacity. In Phase 1, the ore SAG
and ball mills will be operated autogenously or with low ball load and/or low speed to draw just
enough power to process the required rate and the ball mill will operate at full power draw. In
Phase 2, the SAG and ball mills will be operated to draw the full power.
Limestone circuit is planned to follow a similar design to that of the ore circuit. In Phase 1, an
oversized SAG mill will operate in series with an oversized ball mill, with the SAG/ball mills
operating autogenously or with low ball load and/or at low speed. Limestone SAG and ball mills
will operate to draw the full power in Phase 2.
B. Mill diameter, effective grinding length (EGL) and installed mill motor power rating are nominated
by Buyer on Attachment 1 – Technical Data Sheets. Refer to the Purchase Order for Supplier’s
performance warranty terms and conditions.

Hints & Tips
■ The following tips facilitate the process of working
with Loctite® compounds
■ Proper surface preparation is critical to the long-term
performance of these products
Surface preparation steps are as follows: To speed the cure of epoxies at low temperatures:
• Degrease, steam clean, remove visible and non-visible • Store epoxy at room temperature
contaminants and heavy flakey rust • Pre-heat repair surface until warm to the touch
• Abrasive blast with specified grit to obtain specified profile.
Loctite® specifies a surface cleanliness SA 2.5 to SA 3 and To slow the cure of epoxies at high temperatures:
a minimum 75 microns surface profile • Mix epoxy in small masses to prevent rapid curing
• Cool resin/hardener component(s)
Working time and cure time depend on
temperature and mass:
• The higher the temperature, the faster the cure
• The larger the mass of material mixed, the faster the cure

Loctite® Maintenance Workshops
help to drive down costs
Loctite® Maintenance Workshop Training from Henkel provides maintenance personnel
with the necessary skills, knowledge and tools to reduce plant down time and drive
down maintenance costs.
The workshops are suitable for all levels of personnel and include training materials. Conducted
at the customer’s premises, training can be tailored to meet individual needs through a plant tour
and pre-survey. The Training lasts for two hours and includes a review of the common causes of
plant and equipment failure and their prevention.
The hands on training covers threadlocking, gasketing, pipe and thread sealing, retaining, metal
rebuilding, lubrication, surface treatment and rust prevention, flexible sealing and bonding.
Additional training is available covering the cleaning and degreasing of components if required.
On completion of the Loctite® Maintenance Workshop training, delegates will be able to apply their
knowledge to save costs by completing repairs more quickly and effectively. Scheduled and
unscheduled stoppages will be reduced resulting in enhanced production quality and increased
output costs. Energy costs will be reduced and plant safety improved by eliminating personal
safety hazards.
The Loctite® range of speciality, high-technology products is used throughout the training. These
advanced adhesives, sealants, lubricants and cleaners will provide the spares required to make
immediate repairs. Loctite® products help maintain, repair, rebuild and restore damaged parts and
get equipment back into service quickly.
Contact Henkel now for more details or to arrange training for your maintenance team.
