Common problems
Overbreak, underbreak and recovery are factors that are influenced by your drill & blast procedures, Mining Engineers, equipment parameters and operators.
Factors your Engineers have control over, such as orientation, hole length, drill hole diameter, dump angle, rotation angle & matching drill rig capabilities to the stope design.
If you are experiencing any of the factors listed, contact us today.
If these factors are not harmonious, then the following can occur;
- Bridged firings
- Frozen ground
- Powder factors may exceed optimum figures
- Rough hanging walls
- Holes not drilled to design, missing holes or short holes
- Drill holes not loaded
- Poor record keeping and imperfect reconciliation of parameters and performance may result in fragmented data, tedious data collation and analysis, and in effective collaboration
