Small-Scale Continuous SAG Testing Using the Macpherson ...
(8%), so it is actually a SAG mill test, but the results from the test have been used for the analysis of both fully-autogenous (FAG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) circuits (the fine feed size to the mill would not generate sufficient impact energy in FAG mode). In this paper, for simplicity sake, the term autogenous grinding refers to both FAG and SAG
