Here we cover all topics related to case studies in the Mining industry
How can fly rock be reduced in Open pit blasting?
It would be interesting to see a picture of the muck pile after the dust has settled. At first glance, seems the blasting bench was quite narrow, which represents a challenge in terms of designing a timing pattern.

It would be interesting to see a picture of the muck pile after the dust has settled. At first glance, seems the blasting bench was quite narrow, which represents a challenge in terms of designing a timing pattern. To my eye it seems the timing was designed so to move the blast forward, instead of diagonally, what could reduce the rock fly by creating a free face towards which the energy could flow, away from the main bench face.

I am a final year mining engineering student about to carry out on my project work. I am actually working on a topic related to drill patterns and their impact on ground fragmentation- a case study. Through out the Qualitative analysis I got to understand the mine uses the Burn cut drilling pattern. is anyone here who has ever come across that drill pattern mentioned?
Until the end of the last century, fire drilling machines were used in the quarry of the Southern Mining and Processing Plant (Ukraine). Drilled quartzite.
