The simulation results for a mill feed rateof 2,700 t/d are summarized as follows:• SAG mill/ball mill/pebble crusher (SABC) arrangement: a 19 ft diameter by 8 ft long (effective grinding length (EGL)) SAG with1,290 kW of installed power a 13 ft diameter by 22 ft long ball mill with 1,470 kW of installed power(drawing 1,417 kW) a pebble crusher with 45 to 50 kW of installed power.• SAG mill/ball mill (SAB) arrangement: a 19 ft diameter by 8 ft long (EGL) SAG with 1,290 kW of installed power a 13 ft diameter by 22 ft long ball mill with 1,470 kW of installed power(drawing 1,429 kW).13.3.7 SAMPLE SPECIFIC GRAVITYThe specific gravity of the Brucejack mineral samples are shown in Table 13.14 <strong>and</strong>Table 13.15. The specific gravity data varied narrowly from 2.71 to 2.87.Pretium Resources Inc. 13-11 1291990200-REP-R0012-02<strong>Feasibility</strong> <strong>Study</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on the BrucejackProject, Stewart, BC
