About

Drill & Blast

Drill-and-Blast is a cornerstone of mining operations, playing a vital role in the extraction of minerals. This process combines precision drilling and controlled explosives to break down rock formations and create pathways for further mining activities. 

Drill-and-Blast is an indispensable part of mining as it plays a crucial role in optimizing resource utilization. By utilizing an accurate design to blast stopes for extraction, mining operations can optimize the use of equipment, time, and resources, enhancing overall efficiency and sustainability. 

While creating drill-and-blast designs can be complicated, CAD offers a unique way to complete your design efficiently in a precise way. Promine’s drill-and-blast modules takes advantage of CAD by utilizing blocks, polyline segments, section cutting, and the ability to adjust the UCS in any direction. This comprehensive method provides an accurate way of inserting drilling and explosive data in a user-friendly way. Promine also offers you a seamless way to insert customized reports to correctly display the information needed to be passed on to the operations team.

Effective planning is crucial in the realm of Drilling & Blasting within the mining industry for the following reasons:
