the mine design line, and damage to mining equipment in the confined pit, careful consideration is required in the design. Using the regular open pit "pit limit blast design strategy", blast layouts should comprise presplits, a narrow trim and the production blast. The presplit should be fired first, followed

Vibrations induced by mining blasting are considered to have the most negative effects on the final pit wall's stability. Control and reducing negative effects of the vibrations induced by blasting on the final pit wall's stability in this openpit mine is a critical problem, which affects the mining safety and the sustainable development of Xinqiao Mining Co., Ltd.

The lack of rock movement behind the blast can be seen by the visual observations of the location of the last row of blast holes in the newly created face. In the picture above, it can be seen that all rock motion from this blast moves outward to open air. There is

Mining operations include the five stages such as drilling, blasting, loading, haulage and crushing. Drilling and blasting costs constitute up to 30% of the total operational costs in open pit mines, which will be increased up to 50% by adding more oversize parts and the requirement of secondary blasting.
