This video shows select aspects of an underground blasting cycle. Specific protocols and procedures will vary at each mine site depending on the type of mine and products being used. In this case, the jumbo has finished drilling-off the round and been removed. The loading crew has washed down and checked scaling on the face back and walls. All unnecessary items have been removed from the face before the loading crew brings in the explosives and detonators.
