Designing the mining layout and blasts

Before any hole is drilled or rock mined, much planning goes into making sure the mining sequence runs smoothly and safely as possible. The mine planning engineers, in conjunction with geologists, drill and blast engineers and voids officers, design the size and shape of the blasts. This takes into account:

  • location of the ore on the bench
  • presence and intensity of old workings

Production Drilling
Blasting breaks the rock into loose material that mining equipment can dig and carry. Before blasting, it is necessary to drill holes in the rock to insert explosives. These holes are drilled by a fleet of production drill rigs and drilled in a “pattern” in an area of the bench identified for blasting.
