Paper describes a "sick" SAG mill and the changes made to "bring it to health". The "healthy" mill conditions benchmark as follows:

	SAG	Ball Mill	total
Measured specific energy consumption, kWh/t	6.34	8.21	14.55
Predicted specific energy consumption, kWh/t	6.19	8.36	14.55
Difference, kWh/t	-0.15	0.15	0.00
Difference, %	-2.3%	1.8%	0.0%

	FAG	BM	Pebble Crusher	total
Measured specific energy consumption, kWh/t	9.55	7.28	0.34	17.18
Predicted specific energy consumption, kWh/t	10.26	7.84	0.40	18.50
Difference, kWh/t	0.71	0.56	0.06	1.32
Difference, %	7.2%	7.4%	14.9%	7.4%
