ABSTRACT
This paper discusses, and is centered on the Appendix of this paper that compiles all Autogenous
and Semi-Autogenous mill installations worldwide, through the end of March 2015. Updates have been
solicited from all major mill manufacturers and most have responded.
A review of AG/SAG mills sold to date, and since the last SAG Conference, indicates that the
AG/SAG mill market has seen abrupt changes, especially during recent times, from a rapid decline,
through a long stretch of stagnation, into a slow emerging slope as of late, charting out yet another cyclic
trend. However, the AG/SAG mill market is still healthy and the trend is larger diameter mills with high
diameter-to-length ratios. Gearless mill drives (GMD) are the preferred drives for large mills requiring
greater than 18MW. However, power transmitted through a gear drive is expected to near 14 MW per drive
system in the near future.

INTRODUCTION
This paper is derived from a document that compiles autogenous and semi-autogenous mill
installations worldwide. The list is maintained by Frank J. Tozlu (author), and is included in the appendix.
This list has been the inspiration for similar papers in the past several SAG Conferences. Updates have
been solicited from all major mill manufacturers and most have responded. Information from this list is
compiled to illustrate the growth of the AG/SAG mill market and the use by industry and selected
geographic areas. It covers the market growth through the end of March 2015.
SAG mill sizes are leaning toward larger diameters with high diameter-to-length ratios, and higher
power draws. Ring motors (GMD’s) are the preferred drives for larger mills, however, it is expected that
gear drives will be able to transmit 28 MW in the near future.
Although this presentation will be general in nature, we expect it to provide a good basic
summary of the Mineral Mining Market State-of-the-Union. The AG/SAG Mill market list is a living
document and is updated regularly.
DEFINITIONS
An Autogenous (AG) Mill is a tumbling mill which utilizes the ore itself as grinding media. For
some ores, an autogenous mill combines the size reduction steps of crushing, coarse grinding and fine
grinding. Ore which can be ground autogenously is said to be amenable to autogenous grinding. The ore
must contain sufficient competent pieces to act as grinding media.
A Semi-autogenous (SAG) Mill utilizes steel balls in addition to the natural grinding media. The
addition of balls (typically 6 to 12 percent by mill volume of 100 mm diameter or 125 mm diameter balls)

increases the ability of the mill to deal with ores of varying hardness characteristics and varying amounts
of natural grinding media. A semiautogenous mill can effectively treat a wide variety of feed materials.
These mills are ideal for the scrubbing and coarse grinding of wet sticky ores to prepare feed for final grind
in a ball mill. They are also used in single stage grinding of ores to a final product size.
Each type of mill should be described in a consistent manner. Inconsistencies still exist with
respect to mill dimensions, leading to occasional confusion. It is highly recommended that mills should be
designated by inside shell diameter times inside shell length following with the length inside liners
(effective grinding chamber length) in parenthesis following the length. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Definition of Mill Diameter D, Mill Length L, and Effective Grinding Length EGL
An example would be a 40’ x 29’ (26’ EGL) [12.19 m x 8.84 m] (7.92 m EGL) – 28 MW SAG
mill. This clearly dimensions the mill for both the mechanical designer and the process engineer. If
everyone uses such definitions, confusion will be minimized.

In the last 5 years, the grinding mill market (and in particular the AG/SAG mill market) has
experienced some continued growth. It peaked in 2011 very close to record levels seen in 2006. Orders for
2011 nearly exceeded the total for the next three years to date. In 2013 and 2014, the global economic
recession held capital purchases for mining to levels seen in the early 2000’s, however recovery out of this
tread is slowly starting to make an upward turn. There are many large projects being seen (involving
AG/SAG mills) in the planning stages as of the end of 2014, early 2015. AG/SAG mill market in the last
50 years is shown in Figure 2.

Grouping the above data to coincide with SAG Conferences shows growth in mining in the last 5
years as evidenced in Figure 3. The current 5 year average shows to be over 2 times each of the first 5 year
periods in the chart below. This in itself shows that the mining industry state of the union is still strong.
Figure 3 – AG/SAG mill Installed Power Sold in the last seven 5-year periods
Since the last SAG Conference in 2011, over 90 AG/SAG type mills were sold. To date, the total
installed power is now over 5800 MW as shown in Figure 4. This represents nearly 800 MW of installed
power sold in the last five years. This practically means that approximately 15% of all installed power has
been sold in the past five years considering the market slow down being seen during this same period and
only considering the first quarter of 2015 in the data.

Figure 5 shows the installed power sold by ore type. In the last ten years, copper has taken the
lead from gold as the most mined ore (even though orebodies often contain both copper and gold). Copper,
gold, and iron ore mining dominated all other ore mining combined.
Figure 6 shows the top 10 countries buying AG/SAG milling for the period from 2011 to 2015.

Table 2 summarizes the top 10 countries buying AG/SAG mills within the last four 5-year
periods.
Figure 7 shows the installed power sold based on mill diameter. The 12.2 m (40 ft) mills have
been very popular with a total of 30 units sold so far.
It is also interesting to note yet another period of increased Ball milling power sold versus SAG
milling power. Compared to the previous period of roughly 37% more power being transferred to ball
milling, the last 5 years showed a remarkable increase of nearly 56% more installed power being shifted
from SAG to Ball milling.

MILL DRIVES
The optimum selection of drives for AG/SAG mills is important for both the economics of the
project and the successful operation of the plant. Advancements in the design and manufacturing
capabilities for large gears have been achieved over the last 5-years. The largest single pinion/gear drive
installed and operating to date is identified at 8,500 kW. This is higher than the 7,500 kW pinion drive
mentioned five years ago. To date, 2 x 8,500 kW = 17 MW dual pinion drive ball mills have been sold and
are presently operating since 2012. This marks the highest power dual pinion drive in the market today.
Gearless Mill Drives (GMD) have been formally sold as large as 28,000 kW. However, over the past three
years, gear/pinion drive systems have made great technological advances, and will soon prove to be the
better option when thinking about going well beyond 18 MW’s.

b. Wound Rotor or Slip Ring Motors used with speed reducer drives and slip energy recovery
systems for speed control (now applied to both single pinion and dual pinion drives)
c. Synchronous Motors used for both single pinion and dual pinion drives with either Variable
Frequency Drive (VFD) drives or Cycloconverter variable speed control. The first dual pinion
applications of VFD and Cycloconverter technologies started up in 1996 and 1997
d. Gearless Mill Drives (GMD) drives, as of today, are normally used for power draw requirements
above 18 MW, and are the most expensive variable speed drives for large mills.
Gear driven AG/SAG mills have been sold from as small as 110 kW (148 HP) to as large as
18,000 kW, (24,138 HP). GMD SAG mills have been sold in sizes from 8,200 kW (11,000 HP) through
28,000 kW, (37,548 HP).
The first SAG mill to utilize a GMD motor design were the two 32’ x 17’ (15’ EGL) - 8,200 kW
SAG mills sold to Chuquicamata in Chile in 1986. Until today, a total of 72 GMD SAG mills have been
sold, the largest rated at 28 MW (37,520 HP). In the past five years, 12 GMD AG/SAG mills have been
added to the list compared to 40 over the previous period. The significance in the decline of installed GMD
motors over the past 5 years may be due to the High Capex cost for these drives and mine owners are now
looking to upgrade or improve their existing operations as mentioned earlier on the increase in ball milling
power. It remains to be seen whether the latest 12.8 m (42 ft) diameter SAG mill will be a new standard
for large mills, or whether larger diameters will follow.
In 2011, many suggested that HPGR technology would replace AG/SAG mills in the future.
Reviewing AG/SAG mill progress since our last paper, we note that in the last 5 years, the SAG mill
population has grown, adding 91 total mills ranging from 17 to 40’ in diameter. We have seen no demise
of the AG/SAG mill. GMD driving these giant mills range from 18 to 28 MW. Of these large mills, 38’
and 40’), 16 are in South America (Peru, Chile, Brazil), 8 are in Australia, 2 are in Canada, and the others
are in Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Sweden, Mexico, Panama, Mongolia, Indonesia, and Zambia. These large
mills make it possible to process as much as 144,000 metric tons per day (mtpd) of ore in a single grinding
line at interesting savings over the cost of a multiline plant.
The census of AG/SAG mills confirms that most recent installations are processing copper, gold,
iron ore, zinc, and nickel. Most large AG/SAG mills are variable speed. Variable speed is inherent with
ring motor electronics. There is some justification for use of a variable speed drive to allow the operator to
make speed adjustments as ore hardness changes. When soft ores are encountered, the SAG mill load can
drop rapidly and liners can be damaged if the mill is not slowed down. It is common for SAG mills today
to have variable speed drives. It is however an expensive option with conventional motor drives.
Mill designs are off the shelf today for a SAG mill of up to 28 MW followed by two Ball Mills of
up to 24 MW. It is possible to have a single processing line capable of handling over 200,000 mtpd of ore.
CONCLUSION
The AG/SAG mill market has been presented. The SAG mill (and in a limited way the AG mill)
will continue to be applied in the mining industry in a wide variety of applications. SAG mills and ball
mills in the mining industry will continue its upward trend of growth in size with SAG mills up to 30 MW
and ball mills as large as 24 MW. Conceptual design and pricing has been developed for Gearless SAG
Mills of 44’ (13.41 m) diameter with 32 MW (42,900 HP) and Ball Mills of 30’ (9.14 m) in diameter and
28 MW (37,500 HP). Single grinding lines will process 200,000 mtpd of ore and more.
It is expected that large gear driven mills will approach 12 – 14 MW for single drive systems and
24 – 28 MW in dual drive systems. GMD’s are currently preferred at these high power inputs for
comminution, however, innovative technologies are currently on their way in allowing users to stay with

the gear driven mill solution. Engineers will begin to understand the convenience and long term savings
possible with these new drive systems being developed and tested.
Small concentrators will utilize SAG milling to a greater degree in either low aspect or high
aspect ratio designs depending on economics. Computer modeling will help us better understand, better
apply, and better utilize these mills. Advanced computer control of the concentrator will help us obtain a
better return from equipment investments.
