Energy costs typically comprise one of the largest ongoing costs of mining operations, of which 70% is devoted to the comminution of the ore (Norgate and Jahanshahi, 2010). Furthermore, the most significant energy cost occurs in the grinding circuit of the Milling section, where up to 97% of the energy cost is incurred (Ballantyne et al., 2012).

The four major steps in the production of marketable copper are mining, concentrating, smelting, and refining. In a few instances, however, leaching takes the place of concentrating, smelting, and refining. At present, although considerable leaching and directsmelting ores are produced, the bulk of the copper ore mined is concentrated.
