planning an underground mine is a complex proce dure consisting of five stages (kuchta et al., 2004): i) determining the geometry and grade (or quality), ii) deciding how to mine the ore by underground mining, iii) designing the mine infrastructure, or layout of the mine to efficiently exploit the ore, iv) planning how to mine and process the .

Air blasting in mining is a method of blasting in which compressed air at very high pressure is piped to a steel shell in a shot hole and discharged. It is often called air overpressure. An air blast is the airborne shock wave generated by an explosion. In underground mining, after an explosion a strong rush of air follows.

Apr 1, 2021Smooth wall blasting is the most commonly used technique in underground mining and it was developed in Sweden. The smooth wall line is composed around the final excavation line underground where the holes are lightly loaded to reduce the amount of overbreak.

Block caving is an underground hard rock mining method that involves undermining an ore body, allowing it to progressively collapse under its own weight. It is the underground version of open pit mining. In block caving, a large section of rock is undercut, creating an artificial cavern that fills with its own rubble as it collapses.

To work out the correct time for the in-fill hole, halve the time between hole #1 and hole #2 (17 milliseconds x 0.5); as the in-fill hole is located halfway between hole #1 and hole #2, this is equal to 8.5ms and as 8.5ms non-electric surface connectors do not exist, so a 9ms delay is used. This is the simplest application of a timing shape.
