AbstractThis paper presents significant correlations of the Bond parameter (work index, Wi and grindability, G) and the breakage parameters (specific rate of breakage, Si and the fineness value, γ) with the point load index (Is(50)). The experimental results obtained from calcite, barite, colemanite and bauxite samples have demonstrated that the Bond and breakage parameters were closely correlated with the point load index. That is, the values of G, Si and aT parameters decreased with the increase in the values of the point load index; however, the γ parameter of Bi,j increased with increasing Is(50) values.
