Get Price· Blast hole drilling is traditionally used wherever the mining company wants to explore the mineral composition or potential mineral yield of the area demarcated for their mining interests Blast holes are thus a fundamental step in the exploratory mining process and can be employed in both surface mining operations and underground mining operations to varying degrees with varying
Get PriceOver time mine management becomes fully reliant upon their explosive suppliers to the extent that all in house blasting expertise is permanently lost However there s increasing interest in optimising all blast requirements and objectives in the primary blast design It s often the case where operators skimp on the blast design
Get PriceBlasting Techniques Adopted in Opencast Mines Efficient blasting should give such rock fragmentation as to eliminate the need for secondary blasting The fragmented rock should be easily handled by the bucket of the shovel For mineral which has to go to crushers the size should not be more than the input size for primary crusher

Get Price· The mechanism by which the explosive energy is transferred to the surrounding rock mass is changed in air deck blasting It allows the explosive energy to act repeatedly in pulses on the surrounding rock mass rather than instantly as in the case of concentrated charge blasting The air deck acts as a regulator which first stores energy and then releases it in separate pulses

Get Price· With mines routinely recording a 5 to 20% loss of valuable mineral in every blast BMMs already save mining companies tens of millions of dollars per mine every year The inventors of the BMMs formed a company Blast Movement Technologies BMT to commercialise the combined hardware and software grade control solution in 2005 after conducting initial research at the University
Get Price· Blasting contractors should lay out the drill pattern based on a surveyed profile of the face At a minimum a profile survey should be done after drilling and before loading so that the proper explosive load can be determined for each blast hole based on the survey and drill log A best practice would be to profile both before and after drilling
