5. Why Do WeNeed ThisPlatform?
What does it mean for the blasting Field Personnel / Supervisor / Senior Management
➢ Why do we need this? “Blasting is still an art rather than a science.”
▪ In virtually all forms of mining, drilling and blasting is the method of rock breakage. The blasting team (in the
office and field) still do not have appropriate tools available to them to enable them to conduct blasts
efficiently, safely and with the benefit of all available intelligence to them readily.
▪ A lot of mines still don’t know how their blasts are performing. They have always done blasting in particular
manner.
▪ Financial Benefits to your mine (via improved blasting) : Analysis obtained from our software can
result in significant improvement in mine productivity. Via improvement in blasting some key benefits can be
achieved –These include-1) Reduction in overall blasting costs 2) Improvement in production output (tonnes
produced per meter of drilling and tonnes per hole 3) Improvement in excavator , loader and dumper
performance and reduction in crusher power consumption.
▪ Do you think your mining operations could be more efficient? Are your drilling and blasting costs too
high? Blasting is crucial to mining operations and can improve downstream transportation and crushing
efficiency.
▪ Issues with current blasting software technology tools : A) not accessible / available in the field, B)
not integrated cross blasting lifecycle and C) Do not provide intelligence in an easy manner and D) Have not
adopted latest technology innovations E) don’t really help in optimizing / improving blasting. Different mine
sites within the same company use no tools or some tools. We have no consistency cross different mine sites.
