benchmarked the energy consumption of open cut iron ore and gold mines. In investigating iron ore in an open cut mine, it was reported that there was potential to reduce the mining costs (based on energy savings) by 36% and milling costs by 47%. For gold mining this estimate was reduced to a staggering 53% for milling. Examples of Energy Events ...

The current main haulage level at the mine is 1,365m underground. Ore processing takes place in three concentrating plants and three pelletising plants. The mine produces more than 75,000t of iron ore a day. The processed iron ore products are transported to Narvik port via the Malmbanan and Ofotbanen mine railway lines.

The three primary and secondary crushing stations each crush 5000 tons of ore an hour (t/h) into particles smaller than 150 mm. This material is then conveyed to a 250,000 t surge stockpile prior to being fed into the processing plant. When the ore is fed into the processing plant it first enters the scrubbers, before being sent to wet screening.

Dry processing of iron ore: In dry processing of iron ore, ROM is generally crushed below 40 mm through three-stage crushing and thus segregated by screening into 10–40 and −10 mm fractions. For softer ore, tumbler index is generally low and hence lump ore is crushed below 10 mm to produce fine product. Yield from the plants has …
