Grindability of granite and Iron-ore was investigated in this work. Samples were collected from Julius Berger Quarry and National Iron-Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO), Itakpe. Particle size distribution of the samples by means of sieve shaker and grindability of samples were also determined. The results obtained show that weight retained varies from 36.71 g to 183.1 g for granite while that of iron-ore vary from 9.65 g to 87.78 g. In addition, it was observed that granite and iron-ore have grindability values of 0.061 g/rev and 0.926 g/rev respectively. This confirmed that granite requires more energy to be grinded.
