Stability, Final wall, Presplit, Drilling, Blasting, Open pit INTRODUCTION Estimating the safe wall angles of mines is necessary to calculate ore-to-waste ratios during the feasibility studies for designing an open pit mine. During the feasibility studies, a great deal of effort is
Read MoreImplementing stable final pit walls in open pit mines during the open pit design phase and mine exploitation has become one of the most important concerns of mining engineers in recent years. Failure of mine walls can potentially cause loss of life, roads blocks, and damage to mining machinery, temporarily or permanently halt production at the face and in the worst case scenario, close the mine.

Both techniques are designed to create a low explosive energy concentration per unit of wall area at the perimeter of the pit. Energy concentration of the main production blast must also be controlled to avoid damaging the final pit wall.

Read MoreA case study is presented where a controlled blasting programme (presplitting) was adopted in an open-pit copper mine in order to improve the stability of the resulting cut slopes. The aim was to reduce over break and minimize damage to the final pit walls from production blasts. The use of presplitting allowed considerably higher benches to be adopted with much steeper overall slope angles.
