The quality of rock fragmentation intensively affects downstream operations and operational
costs. Besides, Environmental side effects are inevitable due to mine blasting despite …

In open-pit mines, the blast operation should be effectively optimized, leading to
minimization of production costs through the application of specific technical specifications …

Rock fragmentation and movement are two important outcomes of the blasting process in
open pit mines. They are influenced by blasting design parameters, as well as by the …

Mine to mill optimisation will lead to a systematic reduction of production costs in an open
mine. In this paper, mine to mill optimisation has been designed and implemented in the …

Blasting is the initial stage of comminution in mining. It has significant influence on the cost
and efficiency of downstream operations. A highly heterogeneous orebody requires control …
