GIANT MINER

#campaign_against_unsafeBlast Brief Introduction It's clear that unsafe blasting is the father of unwanted occurrences. This make all move in the wrong time give birth to the wrong event. All mining operations must be planned properly before in site action. A look at explosive energy  Explosive energy distribution is almost a stochastic  discrete event, the explosion and detonation energy can sometimes be unfamiliar if there is change in rock property stimulation and expectation. Let all blasting put needed factor of safety in place to account for unexpected entities. Rock Mass as a discountinous, heterogeneous, anisotropic and non elastic material host the ore, the unmine rock form the supporting body; damaging the supporting rock is a call to hazardous events. The energy generator is the explosive, but the explosive will always remain calm until the stimulating wave is in touch with it. As mining engineer in this new year, let all our relationship with explosive ...

                              A Technical overview of Overbreak B.O. Taiwo* Giant Miner *Graduate of Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria  author's mail: taiwoblessing199@gmail.com   Abstract: The presence of boulders in the blasted muck causes not only loss in production, but also increases the cost of hauling. In another words, the cost and efficiency of mucking, loading, and Comminution operations (crushing and grinding) will be highly altered by the outcome of blasting operation. This article give detail explanation about the causes and effect of overbreak during blasting. It point out the ways to control and minimize blast overbreak and give recommendation on the ways to improve blasting operation and safety. The safety of the mine is important to ensure guarantee of life, therefore generation of overbreak on the mine face affect both profitability and safety statu...
