Abstract

"During the early stages of the boxcut mining at the Arthur Taylor Colliery, Open Cast Mine(ATCOM), problems were experienced with blasting results. Very large boulders andportions of completely unfragmented rock were commonly encountered. A full blastmonitoring programme was instigated by the mine and the explosive supplier to solve theproblems and to optimise future blasting operations at the mine."
