Abstract

A mineral processing system for mineral separation and coarse particle recovery utilizing engineered media, features a first ore size reduction circuit and a second ore size reduction circuit. The first ore size reduction circuit includes a secondary crusher with a combination of a high pressure grinding roll crusher and a screen, and is configured to receive a primary crusher feed from a primary crusher, and provide a first ore size reduction circuit feed having first crushed ore with a first orebody feed size that is less than a primary orebody feed size of the primary crusher feed and in a range of about 6-8 mm. The second ore size reduction circuit is configured to receive the first ore size reduction circuit feed and provide a second ore size reduction circuit feed having second crushed ore with a second orebody feed size less than 1 mm.
