A series of gas inrush events occurred during development at Grosvenor Mine resulting in exposure to elevated levels of methane at the production face.A total of 22 gas inrush events occurred,with between 15 and 130 m...
In a hard-rock mine,blasting is an important rock-breakage process that impacts energy consumption both in downstream comminution processes and mine productivity.Optimizing the blast fragmentation to improve rock-brea...
Drilling and blasting are the two most significant operations in open pit mines that play a crucial role in downstream stages. While previous research has focused on optimizing these operations as two separate parts o...
With rampant growth and improvements in drilling technology, drilling of blast holes should no longer be viewed as an arduous sub-process in any mining or excavation process. Instead, it must be viewed as an important...
