Blast charge initiation procedures have a significant impact on both mining safety and
production rates. In this study, the inventory benefit of an electric initiation system was …

This paper presents a novel approach aimed at optimizing underground mine bench
blasting practices to minimize energy consumption in downstream comminution processes …

Wrong blasting can lead to various degrees of inefficiencies in the subsequent mining
processes. It is therefore necessary to constantly evaluate blast results and optimise the …

Rock blasting with explosives is the first stage of rock fragmentation and plays a key role in
the results of the mining chain. Fragmentation optimization is achieved by considering the …

Установлены зависимости влияния параметров взорванной горной массы (ВГМ)–
средневзвешенный кусок, индекс однородности и выход некондиционного куска, на …

Crushed stone aggregates are indispensable construction material which is produced by
crushing of raw stone boulders raised from stone quarries through the process of drilling and …

Amazon rainforests have many hidden treasures; thus, a balance between mine activities
and the environment must be maintained. In the northern region of Brazil, there is a large …

Abstract Evaluation of blast efficiency in quarrying of aggregate stones is one of the most
important decisions that should be made by quarry operators for productivity assessment …

The blasting operation plays an important task in the overall economics of opencast mines.
The degree of fragmentation affects the loading, transport, crushing operations. Various rock …

Innovation has an important role in improving the productivity, safety and sustainability of
mining operations. Historically, ore transport was done by diesel trucks, but with the …
