Based on the requirements and available sample amounts in geometallurgical studies of ore variability, a small scale batch grindability test has been developed, the Geometallurgical Comminution Test (GCT). The test requires 220 g of sample material and can be conducted within 2.5–3 h. Test results are evaluated using a modified Bond equation together with a linear correlation factor. The test and evaluation method have been validated against several ore types.
