3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Tracks: Poster Session

Speaker(s): Ricardo Chavez, EPC Continental

If the positive impact of a better fragmentation on loading/hauling productivity might sound trivial, we have shown that such blasting improvements do not imply an increase of CO2 emissions and can actually lead to reduce them, depending on quarry configurations.
