Abstract

The use of underground ring drilling and blasting holes is common, given their compatibility with various mining methods and use in the construction of underground structures like the ore draw bells. Working conditions and rock properties can vary significantly, making it essential to monitor and analyze the blasting results. If necessary, the adjustments and optimizations should be made to the drilling and blasting patterns based on the properties of the used explosives. The aim of this paper is to develop a stopping mining method model using the blastholes, as well as a unique drilling and blasting pattern for excavation the initial slot in the Datamine Aegis. The objective was to compare several types of explosives with different properties in this context, predict the blast outcomes in terms of break radius, and highlight the significance of all explosive parameters in selecting and optimizing a drill and blast ring pattern.
