The plant that crushes, grinds and processes ore into a saleable product.
A facility where ore is crushed, ground, and processed to extract valuable minerals. Gold mills typically use gravity concentration, flotation, or cyanide leaching to recover gold from ore.
Mill throughput and the cost of building one usually dominate a project's capital. It is also the asset a nearby producer may already own — which is why a deposit within trucking distance of an underused mill is worth disproportionately more than the same rock in isolation.
