Abstract

Blasting is an essential and the very first activity of hard rock mining. It is considered the cheapest source of energy for loosening/extracting hard rock. Improper planning and design can make basting a costly operation. Furthermore, as downstream processes are affected by properties of muckpile a blast should be designed properly to yield the desired muckpile and fragmentation. Among fragmentation and muckpile, fragmentation is the most important, and is the main parameter used to evaluate the efficiency of a blast. This paper analyzes the use of WipFrag software to evaluate the fragment size distribution of blasting with current blasting parameters of Cherat Cement quarry.
