Blast Movement Technologies ’flagship tool, the Blast Movement Monitoring System, has continued to demonstrate the effectiveness of deploying 3D blast movement in enabling improved ore recovery, waste reduction, resulting in increased revenue.
As part of mine to mill optimisation management at surface mines are going to great lengths in pursuit of ways of increasing revenue by improving ore recovery. Increasingly, accurate post-blast movement monitoring during blasting is regarded as one of the proven methods which enables increased ore recovery and reduced dilution, Globally recognised EPCM rm, SRK Consulting highlights this point in their review, Mine to Mill Optimisation: Effect of feed size on mill throughout. In light of this, it is not surprising that there has been a growing interest in the adoption of alternative blast movement monitoring techniques.
However, the challenge that mine operators would face is that they could be inundated by numerous alternative solutions proclaiming numerous alternative solutions proclaiming to 'maximise ore recovery and minimise' ore loss. In no doubt, bearing this in mind, making rational decisions when it comes to choosing suitable solutions that meet their specific requirements could be an elaborate task.
Thus, at the outset, to appreciate better ideal features of alternatives post-blast movement monitoring solutions that could meet the contemporary requirements of industry, it is reasonable to examine limitations of the conventional techniques of blast movement modelling.
