Webinar duration is 1 hour

Mining and processing represent consecutive stages of size reduction of rock from in-situ preformed blocks to a size allowing for optimum recovery (mining) or maximum selling value (aggregates quarry or iron ore mines). The rock properties themselves are not under our control and can change dramatically or subtly from one mined area to another. With the ore properties also beyond our control, the only parameter that can be adjusted is the fragmentation of blasted material. In each situation, when a different particle size distribution of the plant feed can solve or alleviate challenges in the process plant, drilling and blasting practices must be scrutinized. Instead of a “once and for all” approach, drill and blast optimization is a continuous iterative process, aiming to cope with changes in ore characteristics and process plant operating strategies for maximum overall operational benefit. In this webinar, 3 of the most common processing problems where drill and blast solutions can help you improve plant performance will be identified and discussed.

During this webinar, you will find:   

  • What to ask for and what to provide to the blasting department.
  • How rock properties impact blast fragmentation and downstream processing.
  • The limitations of blast fragmentation.
  • How optimized blast fragmentation improves process plant results.

This webinar is in English
