Smart mining solutions

Drilling and blasting

It all starts with drilling and blasting. The precision of your drill and blast process can dictate the productivity of every aspect of your mine operation. A well-executed drill pattern can improve blasthole quality and depth accuracy. Optimized blasting directly impacts fragmentation for better productivity in loading and hauling, as well as leaching and crushing.
