THREE MAINTENANCE APPROACH FOR NIGERIA MINE IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCTION Maintenance of mine operation is important because of the need to monitor the earth response, see to the perfect working of mine plan and mine design. Getting the Mineral extracted from the earth crust is the major reason for mining, but getting it in a safe and profitable means is the major goal. Surface mining methods involved the extraction of shallow depth Mineral deposit through the complete removal of the overburden materials. Developing the ore site and extracting the ore deposit using any of the previous explained methods follows stripping operation. As the mining operation advances, the earth stress state and other redistributed forces impact the excavated region. This will definitely require a preventative maintenance. Below are some of the maintenance approach to ensuring a sustainable mining operation; 1. Maintenance of mine water : I understand from personal work study that Nigeria operates ma...

Review of the Effect of Blast initiation Delay Timing on Blasting fragmentation By Taiwo Blessing Olamide  GIANT MINER INTRODUCTION  Do you know that; Explosive energy is higher when the shock energy supply for the initiation is high and accurate. Also that, most mining operations uses inaccurate blast time and initiation timing. Two things affect Blasting efficiency appart from the blast parameters and rock properties.  These are; 1. the initiation system and 2. the initiation approach.  This article give a brief review on Professor Takis Katsabanis and Nikolaos Gkikizas-Lamptopoupos work. Professor Takis is an explosive Engineer, lecturer in Queen's university Ontario, Canada. Prof Takis of Queen's university Canada with one of His master's student Nicholaos Gkikizas worked on a project relating to this in 2016. The Thesis focus on examination of the effect of Time delay on fragmentation.  The project was effectively experiments in the university R...
