Pit & Quarry's "Overcoming Oversize" series will discuss the generation of oversize in the blasting process and techniques to reduce or eliminate oversize. Next month's article will discuss oversize as a result of insufficient bench dimensions and how to optimize stiffness ratio for a reduction in oversize. ... We sat there watching all ...
Blasting tests on iron ore specimens with different stemming structures were carried out to quantify the internal fracture and damage characteristics of the specimens by means of computed tomography (CT) scanning, digital image processing and three-dimensional (3D) model reconstruction techniques. The results showed that the …
The extracted ore comes from the enrichment of pre-cambrian banded iron formations (BIFs) (Beukes et al., 2003). The usual model of blasting applied in production benches, with blast drill holes distributed homogeneously, can leave compact rock boulders, reducing the rate of extraction and grinding, thus, impacting the daily …

Unlike digging a hole or moving piles of earth and rock, blasting is an act of precision; one that most mining companies around the world consider to be a key to their success. Without blasting and more importantly, the teams of "blasters" required to perform this act safely, mining as we know it today wouldn't exist.
A series of bench blasting productive tests were conducted in Heishan coal mine in Xinjiang, China.

The iron ore extracted in the deposits, mostly by blasting, is initially very coarse and unwieldy, which gives this untreated rock the name coarse ore. After the coarse ore has been extracted, it is crushed directly at the deposits with the aid of cone crushers or jaw crushers to more manageable sizes of approx. 15 mm.
