IRON ORE
Tailored blast loading and validation
Precision blasting transforming operational efficiency and recovery for iron ore operations.
Tailored blast loading and validation.
Tailored blast loading and validation.
Improve productivity and recovery by tailoring explosive energy to in-situ rock conditions and downstream requirements. Orica Digital Solutions' enables this through integrated geological hardness measurements, advanced energy-matching algorithms, digital blast design tools, an expanded bulk product and energy range and precision delivery systems.
Continuous downstream validation - including real-time through fragmentation measurement with FRAGTrack™ and digability feedback ensures continuous calibration of blast performance. This improves consistency, maximises load and haul effiency, and helps reduce overall cost-per-tonne.

Case study
Antucoya reduces spend on explosives by 9% using RHINO™.
"Using RHINO, we have been able to interpret the compressive strength of the rock while drilling each hole and adjust loading designs. Initially, we focused on barren zones to precisely determine the energy needed to fragment the rock. As a result, we managed to reduce the consumption of explosives by 9% in the business, maintaining the granulometry required by the processing plant and without affecting the excavation rates of the shovels".
