42nd Annual Conference

Modeling and Optimization of Wall Damage in Underground Stope Blasting (Room Concorde A)

02 Feb 16
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Tracks: Underground Mine Blast Modeling

Estimate and model the current damage induced to the stope walls from the mining operation and through a holistic approach, propose modifications to the current blasting techniques in order to reduce the extend of overbreak without compromises to the downstream mining process.
