GIANT MINER

Blow out and flyrock is one of the evidence of poor and unprofessional blasting operation. This can result from poor steaming and overloading of holes and sometimes result from low charge weight. Energy is define as the ability to get the job done, the capacity to overcome the energy barrier. There are many ways to generate energy but for rock breaking, the use of explosive had been the most adopted means since 1900s. In every proper work done, professionalism is very important. Lack of professionalism result into disaster and accident. Since the aim of mining is to promote safety first through new innovation, inventories and safety management system, then the call for help to ensure this is achieve in Artisanal and small scale mines is important. Fact The artisanal miners will keep existing in the stope of mining operation as they has always be because if the following reasons: 1. challenge of start up capital in developing countries to set up large scale mine 2. large sca...

Brief Summary We must be alive to get all the money we are dreaming and thinking about! Mining still remains the most lucrative business in the world with high impact on Technology Development. But the level of safety at the blasting operation cycle is minimal due to lack of sensitivity despite millions of Research work on this area. This article was put together By Taiwo Blessing Olamide to sensitize the World mining sectors on the need to get involved in small scale mining to avoid unforeseen disaster. What blasting may look like if picture from a perspective Check below picture to have a view of what blasting is and what quantum physic can be involved in getting the rock fragmented instantanous casting of fragments from overloaded blasting Article Looking are many developed countries it becomes clearer that they are all functioning well in their large scale mines. Likewise the developing countries, they tends to have some level of success in the record of medium scale mi...

        Sir Dyno Nobel Why Blasting? The rock Mass contain the ore mineral which is the mining engineer major target. Mineral resources are inevitable material needed for Technological innovation and national development. The place of this mineral resources can not be suschanged neither can it be replaced with synthetic materials. By definition, I describe mineral as solid inorganic naturally occurring matter, that is been generated during magma eruption through sufficient time cooling and interrelate and exchange of element in the liquified rock lava. The mining engineer as well known by other disciplines involve themselves in getting the ore from the Earth crust and refining it to fit end user's need. The extraction process begin from altering the Earth land form through wide range of excavation and degredation attempt to get the so called overburden material removed in order to gain access to the enriched ore vein. Emphasis on Bowen series reaction*: D...

#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...
