A grinding circuit includes ore and fluid feed lines, a grinding mill
connected to the feed lines, a grinding chamber to produce a crushed
resultant fluid having ground fines and large particulate therein, a
cyclone for receiving crushed resultant fluid having ground fines and
large particulate and for expelling at least part of the fluid and the
ground fines and dispelling a remainder of the fluid, large particulate
and another part of fine grounds gravity flow, a pump to cause the first
crushed resultant to flow into the cyclone, a second fluid feed line. A
density separator receives the remainder and additional fluid to cause
upflow current therethrough such that a part of mixed fluids and the
large particulate gravity flow to the grinding mill and at least part of
the mixed fluids and another part of the ground fines are circulated back
to the cyclone.
