Drilling and Blasting Drilling and blasting plays vital role in determining the size and shape of rough blocks. Drilling pattern is important in developing a working face and also preparing the rough blocks suitable for their use in appropriate processing units. Even though, there are no important places in and around the area, blasting will be carried with all precautionally measures. 1. Drilling Parameters i. Drill holes diameter: 74/ppm ii. Depth and inclination of the blast holes. 3m in case of separation primary blocks depending on the block size. Then the drill-hole will be vertical. iii. Spacing and burden : 1.5 x 3m iv. Stemming and charging of the blast hole. The blast hole will be charged with 100 grams of explosives and filled with clan pills subsequently; the shot hole will be stemmed. v. Explosive type (1) slurry based explosives or gun powder. Broad Blasting parameter Drill hole patterns for primary and secondary smooth blasting. Uniform single line, equidistant holes (line drilling) will be deployed for separation of blocks from mother rock.
