Title: Ore extraction using combined blast and thermal fragmentation
Inventor: BRISEBOIS DONALD
IPC: E21C37/00
Filed: 2008-07-24
Granted: 2013-06-27
Abstract: A process for extracting ore from a vein (10) comprises drilling spaced-apart boreholes (16) directly in the vein (10). The boreholes (16) are enlarged using thermal fragmentation generally up to the boundaries between the vein and surrounding waste.
