Most iron ores occur in mine benches as complex mixtures of lithologies and ore types. This significantly complicates their characterisation for both blast design and fragmentation modelling. A great deal of technical and research effort has been applied to the development of models to predict fragmentation from rock blasting. A number of quite useful engineering models are …
One common problem for blasting in iron ore mines with significant weathering is the occurrence of large blocks of hard rock mixed with softer material. This situation causes a problem for blasting design and sometimes produces large boulders of rock that require a secondary blasting, as well as excavation difficulties. To minimise this situation, geophysical techniques were used to …

Kumba Iron Ores R2 billion next generation drilling contract. Oct 15 2019 · Iron ore major Anglo American Kumba Iron Ore and South Africanbased drilling services provider Rosond have entered into a R2 billion multiyear agreement The contract is to develop and implement a next generation drilling contract The partnership is a culmination of a ...
The extracted ore comes from the enrichment of pre-cambrian banded iron formations (BIFs) (Beukes et al., 2003). The usual model of blasting applied in production benches, with blast drill holes distributed homogeneously, can leave compact rock boulders, reducing the rate of extraction and grinding, thus, impacting the daily production of iron ore.
Iron ore mining and processing at Kolomela. Kolomela employs the conventional open-pit mining method involving drilling, blasting, shovel-and-truck loading and hauling. The extracted ore from the mine is sent to the nearby processing plant. The ore undergoes primary, secondary and tertiary crushing at the plant.
The most important objective of blasting in open pit mines is rock fragmentation. Prediction of produced boulders (oversized crushed rocks) is a key parameter in designing blast patterns. In this study, the amount of boulder produced in blasting
Golegohar iron ore complex is located in southern Iran which is a large producer of iron ore in the region. The mining method is open pit. Mine No.1 has a production elliptical pit with dimensions 800 m × 3000 m ().There are 26 benches with 15 m heights.The overall pit slope is between 30 and 40 degrees in different azimuths.Frequently, large amount of boulders are …
immediately following the blasting. It is widely used by blasting engineers to arrive at an approximation. In some empirical models such as Larsson's equation, SveDeFo formula, KUZ-RAM model, etc, blasting parameters are considered to determine the size distribution of blasted rock[2]. Recent fragmentation assessment techniques using digital ...
the mining sector, drilling & blasting operations are being conducted through more strategic avenues. Mining companies recognise the need to improve analysis of site data, select appropriate tools and technologies, achieve higher fragmentation and improve ...

Another Motion Metrics customer, a Peruvian mine that is one of the largest copper producers in the world, experiences an average loss of $5.73 million/y, Motion Metrics says, while, at an iron ore mine in Brazil, production interruptions cost roughly $3.65 million/y. "Mines have traditionally taken a reactive approach to mitigating the ...
Upon blasting operation in the wet holes at the mine, boulders with average size of 2 m were observed. Figure 2 provides a view of the blast-induced rock fragments. Fig. 2. A view of the boulders obtained upon blasting at Baba-Ali Iron Ore Mine. Full size image. In the present research, rock fragmentation in dry and wet blast holes charged with ...
The quarries are being worked in four benches. The top bench is an overburden whereas the rest are ore bench. The height of the ore bench varies between 8.5 and 10 m. Conventional drilling and blasting method is used for winning the ore. The muck is loaded by the hydraulic shovels having capacity varying from 3.2 to 5.1 m 3 onto 35 t dumpers ...
The only way to evaluate accurately the cost of explosives, is to examine the effects of blasting and to determine the optimum degree of fragmentation. In most cases, the productivity rate is influenced by the degree of fragmentation. To obtain well-fragmented rock by blasting, explosive energy must be well distributed throughout the rock.
Everett [2,3] discusses methods of iron ore quality control. Kamperman et al [4] describe application of these methods to a West Australian iron ore mining operation. 2 Scope This paper describes a computer-based simulation model to aid the design of a stockpile system, based upon real data, to give improved quality control while
