This technique is especially effective in back-break control through providing a separating surface between the main blasting pattern and open pit final walls In this study, a large open pit mine ....
Blasting is the most common method used to fragment rock in the mining industry However, given the violent nature of explosives and the high variability of results that can occur from blast to blast, there is potential to cause significant damage to the final walls of an open pit, which can...
Implementing stable final pit walls in open pit mines during the open pit design phase and mine exploitation has become one of the most important concerns of mining engineers in recent years Failure of mine walls can potentially cause loss of life, roads blocks, and damage to mining machinery, temporarily or permanently halt production at the face and in the worst case scenario, close the mine...
