A lifter bar for lifting an engaged portion of a load comprising a number of ore pieces above a disengaged portion of the load in a grinding mill having a shell rotatable about an axis thereof. The lifter bar includes a leading face having one or more leading surfaces, and a trailing face. The lifter bar is mountable on the shell located at a predetermined distance from a trailing face of a preceding lifter bar. When the lifter bar and the preceding lifter bar are mounted on the shell, the leading face and the trailing face of the preceding lifter bar at least partially define a pocket therebetween in which a part of the engaged portion of the load is at least partially retainable, until the leading surface is located in a predetermined release position, at which the part has substantially exited the pocket under the influence of gravity.
