    Fines Reduction and Its Impact on the Economics of Aggregate Operations

    By J. Eloranta

    "Previous work indicated that the annual per-capita consumption of raw aggregate material averages about 10 tons; half of which is produced by blasting. Given a population of approximately 320 million

    Development of Scaled Damage Criteria for Blasting

    By Jorge Alvarez

    In a large-scale open-pit mining operation, continuous efforts are made to control damage to the slope walls. An essential tool in this effort is determining the PPVc (critical peak particle velocity)

    A Coyote Blast at Rhone-Poulenc's Maiden Rock Silica Quarry

    By John C. Adams, Darrel D. Porter

    After conventional drill and shoot methods were determined to be unfeasible due the fractured nature of the ground, a "coyote" blast was designed to produce 250,000 tons of rock from Rhone-Poulenc's M
