Blasting has also seen improvements; IT related advancements enable blasting practitioners to be able to blast from remote locations.
Sublevel Open Stoping originated in the early 1900's in iron ore mines in Michigan, USA. It was developed over the years from a method originally known as short hole bench and train a large scale open stoping method, it is often referred to as long hole or blast hole stoping. A Typical Sublevel Open Stoping Operation.

The excavators' efficiency, given as the mucking rate and bucket payload, is investigated in this paper in terms of the influence of the blasting parameters on it. Quantitative data are given for 11 blasts in an open pit iron ore mine. The predominant rocks in the blocks, itabirite and hematite, are described by pointload strength and ...
Blasting is widely used for rock breakage in underground as well as opencast mines. The size distribution of the resulting rock fragmentation has always been a matter of great concern to the mine ...
excavation or mucking, hauling, dewatering, drilling, and processing. However, the effect of blasting on the comminution process is the focus of this research study. Comminution is the term applied to the process by which the particle size of an ore stream is progressively reduced. It is the first step in processing the ore from the mine.
By the late 1600's and early 1700's, iron ore was still being mined in Virginia and western Massachusetts. Small scale bloomeries, the most primitive form of smelting, reduced the ore into a porous mass of iron slag called bloom or sponge bloom was hammered into a low quality wrought iron by using hand held or large, heavy hammers powered by water.
Abstract. Mining of iron ore is a highly capital and energyintensive process. Life cycle assessment (LCA) of the mining and mineral processing of iron ore in Australia was carried out in this chapter using SimaPro LCA software as a case study. The environmental impacts considered in the study were embodied energy and greenhouse gas (GHG ...

Collar zone or stemming region of the blast is often the primary source of oversize boulders. The oversize on top of the muckpile can be reduced by reducing stemming length without jeopardizing ...
Hardrock mining involves uncovering and extracting nonfuel metal and mineral deposits of solid ores or eroded deposits in streambeds. Eleven common minerals mined are copper, gold, iron ore, lead, molybdenum, phosphate rock, platinum, potash, silver, uranium, and zinc. The combined value of the eleven metals and minerals listed above was 12. ...

The work of drilling and blasting rock is done in cycles known as 'the round'. It comprises of: drilling, blasting, smoke time, mucking and supporting. Holes are drilled by using pneumatically operated rock drills with wet drilling. The typical drilling pattern, sequence of blasting and quantum of charge used recently for heading and ...
Adaptation is required for other geological ( iron ore pits, gold mine pits, etc.) and morphological scenarios ( flat lands, mountain sides, top mountain removal and valley fillings, variable thickness of overburden, etc.), especially when the control of both surface water and ground water is essential for short and long term operation ...

What is drilling and blasting? This is a process followed to break rock for excavation purposes, via controlled use of explosives and other methods such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics. Drilling and blasting is practiced most often in mining, quarrying, and civil engineering projects. The result of rock blasting is often known as a rockcut.
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 commitment to reduce CO2 emissions and increase mine safety, mining companies have invested in innovative, more sustainable ore transport technologies. The innovative truckless system, with the intensive use of belt ...
The production cycle of opencast coal mines generally includes drilling, blasting, loading, hauling and coal preparation activities. Individual optimization of these activities does not mean that the whole system is optimized. This paper proposes a cost model considering all activities in mining cycle and systemwide approach to minimize the total mining cost of bench production. Since the ...
