Open-cast mining, or open-pit, open-cut, or surface mining, is a method of extracting minerals, rocks, or other resources from the ground when the deposits are relatively close to the Earth's surface. It is the most commonly applied mining method worldwide. It works by creating a vast, open pit instead of tunneling underground.

Pre-splitting can be defined as 'a technique using lightly charged, closely spaced holes to induce a fracture plane along a required design profile, which isolates the rock to be blasted from the surrounding rock mass'. The holes are generally fired instantaneously well in advance of any blasting in the adjacent rock.

Secondary Blasting -in open cast mines during the blasting in the high benches are broken. Many times the required fragmentation is not formed and large lumps are created. These large lumps or blocks are not handy and these blocks create loading problems by machines. To breaking of such big blocks into desire fragments by re …

Controlled blasting has become imperative in many Indian open cast mines as the workings benches are within/approaching the danger zone of 500 m. Accordingly the blasting impacts in the form of ground vibration, flyrock and air overpressure/noise should be controlled within the permissible limits for the safety of nearby dwellings.
Drilling and blasting are the two most significant operations in open pit mines that play a crucial role in downstream stages. While previous research has focused on optimizing these operations as two separate parts or merely in a specific parameter, this paper proposes a system dynamic model (SDM) for drilling and blasting operations as …
Blast casting is a high-efficiency technique applied in surface mines for overburden removal and results in stripping cost savings. According to ballistic theory and center-of-mass frame basic movement principles, key factors influencing blast casting effect were analyzed, which include bench height and mining panel width, inclined angle of blast holes, explosive unit …
The deep hole blasting in open pit mine is mainly bench blasting. Deep hole blasting is a kind of blasting method which is widely used in open pit mine. The depth of the blast hole is usually 15 to 20m. The aperture is generally 75 to 310mm, while the commonly used aperture is 200 to 250mm.
