NO MORE FEAR: EXAM IS FOR ASSESSMENT AND NOT TO BE FEARED (with testimony) BY: GIANT MINER Is there anything to fear than GOD? NO, not even the fear of exam! Fear is a great barrier to many students and not only affect them emotionally but also close the door of mind to remember things in exam. Human soul is made of three compactments,  The mind (room of knowledge) The Emotion The will (Decision divider) all connected. Fear makes student fail because they loss access to their mind which is the base of information for breaking the barrier of examination and test. If you never experienced it you won't understand, every student wants to have good grade, 98% is fully prepared but not all will finally actualize their expectation this is a fact! Fear is one of the cloud of limitation when sitting for examination, you may even be prepared but still you have that mind that the question may likely not be from what you have read all over night, imagine! Fear is a system that kill...

  SUBDRILL: AN IMPORTANT PARAMETER IN BLASTING BACKGROUND OF THE ARTICLE To a non mining Engineer or Blasting Engineer, the question must have come to you most time that,  1. why subdrill in Blasting, what is the important? 2. Why most subdrill be included in of rock blast and which formation will subdrill not required? This article provides brief answers to the above knowledge gap. 1. INTRODUCTION Subdrill by definition is the additional hole length included to the Bench height to improve Blasting result and Bench safety. Most drillhole blasted in the mine especially in small scale miners and artisanal blasting Operation don't include subdrill because they tend not to know it important. As I have define earlier, there is a specified bench height design to mine an orebody, but the extended hole length beyond the bench height is known as subdrill length. Subdrill is one of the most important Blasting parameters that is use to improve not just the fragmentation rate ...

IF SAFE AND PRODUCTIVE IS MINABLE Explosive charge can vary from rock to rock due to the different in discontinuity property, rock Strength, rock impedance, rock type, rock grains packing and other non controllable factors. Make a good pre-planning before Blasting and also use test Blasting to build a standard blast design for your mine. SAFTEY and Profit must be balance. Our miners must return home to their children and wife safely. We mine the ore and keep the earth healthy for the next generation. As you resume to morning, evening and afternoon shift take note of the possible hazards in the mine due to previous operation. Check the mine face in case of overbreak, check the ramp in case of slabbing effect, check blast pile for undetonated Explosive charge, cord, check drilled hole dimension and accuracy, check the operation Condition of your equipment. Check records from last shift person, try and look into any recommendations and complain in the Reports to put them in or...

HOW CAN OPERATING COSTS IN SURFACE MINING BR REDUCE THROUGH DRILLING AND BLASTING OPERATION  This article is divided into the following subtopics: 1. What is mine operation cost? 2. Key factors that affect operation cost 3. Drilling and Blasting operation influence on operation cost. 4. How to optimize drilling and Blasting to minimize operation cost. BRIEF ON MINE OPERATION COST  As a Mining Engineer working in a mine, we are all concerned about safety first then profit and constant cash inflow. It obvious that, if their is no profit then there is crisis as this will be a tunnel to salary payment delay and even lost of our company customers. " As continuity is the code of Continuous demanding" MINE OPERATION COST: This is define as the total cost incur to produce a unit ton of an ore from the earth crust. OPERATION COST IS DIVIDED INTO THREE 1. LABOUR COST 2. RAW MATERIAL COST 3. MISCELLANEOUS COST 1.Labour cost is the cost incur to compensate human effort as con...

By GIANT MINER Saturday ,26th of March 2021 Mining as an operation that involves the Exploitation of valuable ore or rock from the earth crust must be carryout at safety to health and to the environment (including general public). Mining operations both surface and underground should be  such that is environmental safe and not causing hazard to workers and general public health and safety. Taking a transparent look at the  Nigeria Minerals and mining Act 2007 and the Nigeria Minerals and  Mining Regulation 2011, the chapter 1, part iv Section 4(j), and its Regulation 2011 section 3(b) empowered and state the obligation of the Nation Minister for Mines and steel development to ensure that a measure is put in place to ensure that the welfarism and safety of all workers and general public relating with mineral operation is garantee. The section 17(b) of the ACT and the Section 5(2)(h) of it regulation make it as an obligation to the mine inspectorate Department MID to superv...

Technical article By: Taiwo Blessing olamide INTRODUCTION Blasting result assessment is very important to justify the efficiency and Productivity of every blasting operation. This is also to view the need to optimize the blast design in order to add value to downstream operation and reduce the cost of transporting run-off-mine, prevent transportating waste materials www the mine to the mill, minimize the cost of crushing and separating the gangue material from the concentrate in case of metallic and gemistic mining industries. It become important that analysing the blasting result using various available software that helps the mine manager to meet up with the production rate per day at the lowest cost implication is imperative. Most mines are less concerned about the result of Blasting but still keep complaining on the low profitability of their mine and low efficiency of the working equipments. Poor loading with long loading cycle time along side with continuous separation of Boulder...

Mining Engineering is the best field to be as we are concern with how the valuable Mineral deposit is Exploit from the earth crust for the benefit of manufacturing man's want. Working bench and safety issue Working ore deposit on a single bench may likely be hazardous if proper care is not taken to check Safety management. The failure of rock depend strictly on the bench slope angle and the discontinuity condition of the rock. Appearance of fracture and fault Vin rock mass can result from natural features and also artificial factors including poor Blast design, poor mine design among other issue relating to mining operations. To avoid such accident like truck failing, Rolling down of boulders from level to level it important to ensure benches are wide enough and design with sufficient beam. A beam is a safety distance space left at both front and edge of a working bench width and haulage vroad (Ramp) to safely guide haulage trucks from failing into the pit and also guid...
