Abstract
Use of Release Analysis on data obtained from laboratory testwork carr ied out on a Mozley Laboratory Mineral Separator is a powerful techniq ue for optimising both gravity circuit performance and comminution req uirements with respect to liberation size. This paper describes how th e laboratory technique employed at Wheal Jane Mill has resulted in a s ignificant improvement in the overall mill tin recovery.
