Teck Resources Limited uses our BMM System to better monitor ore movement—improving ore recovery and productivity while reducing energy and explosives use—at three of its open-pit properties: Red Dog Operations (Zinc) in Alaska, USA, Highland Valley Copper in British Columbia, Canada, and Carmen de Andacollo (Copper and Gold) in central Chile.

Watch this Teck-produced video, showcasing blast movement technology and how it’s implemented at their operations.

Blast movement monitors are placed in monitoring holes near ore-waste or high grade-low grade contacts and move with the blasted material. Post-blast, grade control team detect the BMMs, calculate the measured movement and new dig lines.
