1. Drilling: Holes are drilled into the rock at predetermined locations and depths. The pattern and spacing of these holes are carefully planned to ensure efficient rock fragmentation.
2. Charging: Explosives are loaded into the drilled holes. The type and amount of explosive used depend on the rock type, desired fragmentation, and safety considerations.
3. Explosion: The explosives are detonated in a controlled sequence to break the rock. This sequence is crucial to minimize vibration, fly rock, and other potential hazards while maximizing the efficiency of the blast.
4. Evaluation: After the explosion, the results are assessed. This includes checking the fragmentation size, the stability of the remaining rock, and the overall effectiveness of the blast. Adjustments may be made to the drilling and charging patterns for future blasts based on this evaluation.
This process is repeated as necessary to extract the mineral resources efficiently and safely.
