SAG throughput (tons/hour) increased by 9% and specific energy consumption decreased by 7%. Other notable benefits were reduction in 25 hours the SAG reline time since the number of liner pieces were reduced and improved worker safety by eliminating high-pressure washing and scaling tasks prior to SAG entry (shell liner packing issue resolved).
