The Bond Ball Mill Work index (BBWi) is the industry standard procedure for assessing the grindability of ores. The test involves conducting a locked-cycle grinding test using ond's standard mill design. The locked-cycle test enables a batch process to emulate the grinding behaviour of a continuous mill with a 250% recirculating load.

Feed Size, F80:Primary crushed ore is mandatory to feed any SAG mill. Typical feed size range is 80% passing 130 to 160 mm. Softer ores will be a little finer but the finer size is not sustainable when the ore becomes hard. Pre-crushing to finer sizes enhances throughput as does crushing of pebbles from the SAG mill (usually minus 60 mm).
