Rob Goddard, Senior Mining Engineer at BCD Resources discusses a number of issues surrounding best practice for blasting techniques, including:
- The main differences between ‘in-reef’ mining and ‘radial in-reef ‘ mining
- Threats and opportunities of new methods and key considerations with the implementation of the trial
- Issues faced when deciding whether to adopt electronic detonators for blast initiation
- Predictions for the next emerging technology in the drill and blast space
- Dealing with environmental and social issues associated with D&B practices (i.e. vibration, noise effects and fume emissions)
