* ''Boghey, A.; Svalbonas, V.; Jones, S.M.'', '''Supply, Installation &amp; Commissioning of the World's Largest Grinding Mill''', Annual General Meeting of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy &amp; Exploration (SME), 2000.

Mill filling level 33% v/v. Ball charge not measured, but expected to be in 12% to 13% v/v range. Ore density not indicated, assuming 2.65 kg/L. Ball density given as 7.85 kg/L.

Survey conducted during late commissioning, Figure 8 yields:
