Situation
For customers that have perfected their operations, what opportunities can be found to optimise the use of resources for drilling and blasting processes?
For businesses who are leading a robust operation, opportunities still exist to leverage the vital signs of drilling through a database that can predict the behaviour and hardness of the rock. In doing so, organisations can feed integral information to blasting engineers for efficient planning.
Challenge
The geological block model is the primary source of rock information, and is essential for obtaining critical data to inform drilling, blasting designs, and ensure fragmentation results.
For this reason, potential deviations from the information provided by the model could directly affect the outcome and lead to operational losses for the business.
Customer testimonial
“The Sierra Gorda deposit is of low grade, so maximizing plant performance and efficiently using resources is essential. This tool helps identify areas where we can save resources in soft zones while allocating necessary resources toward hard rocks.
This approach allows us to achieve the desired fragmentation objectives that positively impact downstream operations.”
José Luis Carrasco, Operations Manager, Minera Sierra Gorda.
