Drill and blast mining is a common method for breaking up ‘benches’ of rock in order to deliver the smaller pieces of ore-bearing rock to a processing plant where the precious ore is separated from the waste rock. Holes are drilled into a portion of rock – either above or below earth – and explosives are deposited in the drill holes, as the name implies.
Depending on the mining process employed, as well as the rock type and hardness, the amount of explosive required varies drastically between mine sites.
