Break it Better

 · Break it Better – Mine Blast Fragmentation. Jack Eloranta of Eloranta Associates stresses the importance of timing a blast properly. "It may take days or weeks to drill out a pattern and loading might take hours or days. But, the time span that really matters is the interval from the detonation of one hole to the time the adjacent hole fires.

MNM Close Call Accident Alert Blasting

Limestone mine During a blast, fly rock left the mine site and struck the windshield of a pickup truck traveling by on a public road near the mine site. The driver and the passenger both received minor injuries. Best Practices: Consider mine specific conditions and rock strata when designing blasts to prevent fly rock. Closely follow mine policies and procedures through all phases; of the ...
