In an interview with Mining Global, Gordana Slepcev, chief operating officer, talks about how the company culture enables them to better embrace and implement innovation and safety programs. “For the first time in our company’s history we have […]

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 […]

Model or measure blast movement to maximise ore recovery in open cast mines?

This study compares the economic impact of modelling versus measuring blast movement at a Canadian gold mine. Movement of ore-waste boundaries to post-blast positions was identified by direct measurement and also by modeled distance in four blasts. The paper contents includes: Can blast movement be modelled? Blast movement variability Blast dynamics Modelling vs measurement examples […]

Minimizing Mining Dilution, Ore Loss, and Misclassification in South American Porphyry-Skarn and Manto Copper Mines

This paper quantifies the blast movement at three major porphyry-skarn and manto copper mines in South America. It compared the pre-blast ore polygons positions to the post-blast polygons, using measured movement, to evaluate the effect of blast movement on ore loss, dilution and misclassification at each mine. There is significant variation in each blast movement […]
