BMT’s NEW FLIGHT ENABLED DETECTOR 2.0

POST BLAST ORE LOCATION DATA COLLECTED SWIFTLY AND SAFELY The below video has been updated and includes the new winch mechanism. Since the exciting release of our FED in November 2019, where we released our new semi-autonomous detector at IMARC, our R&D team has continued to work on enhancing this solution to broaden its […]

Modeling is a Guess; Measure for Success …Because #NoTwoBlastsAretheSame

Differences in Explosive Properties, Blast Design, Rock Properties, and Boundary Conditions between blasts mean that no two blasts are the same. Accounting for Inherent variability is critical! Attempts to use these inputs to model or predict both horizontal and vertical blast movement without direct measurement do not account for the inherent variability in both magnitude […]

Thanks Australian Mining for the great recap – October Issue

We are always so proud of our Hall of Fame status ! It’s always great hearing the story behind our innovative technology and the advancements that have been made since. Australian Mining speaks with our CEO, Jacques Janse, about our technology, how this blast-proof technology was developed and continues to be the only system that […]

Changing the way we collect data post-blast, our latest innovation, the Flight Enabled Detector

With so many benefits when utilising our unique BMM system, BMT continues to create new ways more mines can access this technology. By the introduction of our new Flight Enabled Detector (FED), we are, amongst other benefits, removing the need for employees to walk the muck pile. This great new piece of hardware continues […]

“Redefining Grade Control Resilience in Challenging Ore Bodies” BMT featured in the latest Mining Executive Magazine

The latest edition of The Mining Executive features a comprehensive 360-degree look at Blast Movement Technologies. So great to see such a well-written article talking all things BMT with our CEO, Jacques Janse. Thank you to all the team at the magazine that put so much effort into collating such a telling story ! Pause […]

Cost-benefit comparison of polypipe (BVIs) vs blast movement monitors at White Foil Gold Mine, WA

This summary outlines the cost benefit of using BMMs vs lower cost polypipe method of blast movement monitoring. White Foil’s geology team compared polypipe (BVIs) to the BMM system1. Read the complete AusIMM paper here. While polypipe is a cheaper alternative, the BMM system was shown to track ore and waste boundaries more effectively, resulting in better […]

Blast Movement Monitors or Polypipe? A study into cost-effective blast movement monitoring at White Foil Gold Mine

Minimising dilution and ore loss is an important part of ensuring profitability of a gold mining operation. White Foil open pit gold deposit is a low grade deposit and therefore managing ore quality is a high priority. Ground movement through blasting can displace ore and waste boundaries up to 10 m from their in-situ location […]
