EXPLOSIVES & BLASTING AGENTS: Refer to Local State and Federal legislation that specifically
 relates to the use of Explosives. Users of products described in this ChemAlert Report are advised to
 ensure familiarity and compliance with the appropriate legal requirements (e.g. Regulations) prior to
 the use of this product. Where any further information is required, users may contact their local
 authority in Explosives and Dangerous Goods.

EXPLOSIONS: Fires involving explosives or explosive mixtures may undergo further explosions and
 rapid propagation. Police and emergency personnel should be notified immediately. Evacuate
 individuals to a safe sheltered area. If possible remove vehicles and further heat and ignition sources
 from the area. Do not return to areas until at least one hour after fire and explosions have ceased.

Burden stiffness ratio = BH/B: 2 to 3.5 good fragmentation; BH/B: > 3.5 very good fragmentation

Stemming material size = D/10 to D/20 (Angular material with minimum fines)

Presplit blasting

Spacing = Hole diameter x 12

Burden = 0.5 x production blast burden (B)

Uncharged length at top = 10 x D

Powder factor = 0.5kg per square metre of face

Do not stem holes.
Fire all holes on the same delay, or in groups of ≥ 5 holes

Smooth blasting

Spacing = 15 x Hole diameter (hard rock); 20 x Hole diameter (soft rock)

Burden = 1.25 x Spacing

Stem holes.
Fire as many holes as possible on one delay.

POWERMITE THERMO®
POWERMITE THERMO® is an emulsion based, high detonation pressure explosive booster
designed for blasting in elevated temperature and reactive ground conditions. In hot and
non-reactive ground, POWERMITE THERMO is rated to 130°C for 48 hours. In reactive ground,
POWERMITE THERMO should be used in accordance with procedures developed on a site-by-
site basis, in consultation with Dyno Nobel and the regulatory authorities.

3 In hot and/or reactive ground the maximum sleep time available will vary according to the reactivity of the ground and
 temperature of use. Please consult your Dyno Nobel representative to determine the testing required to ascertain the
 available sleep time. In hole temperature monitoring, and testing of representative rock samples for the specific site
 will need to be performed to confirm the maximum sleep time able to be achieved for the specific customer site.

DynoConsult Saves Coal Mine $100,000 per ramp shot with Optimized Timing (Case Study), page 1 of 3

IMPLEMENTING A NEW RAMP DESIGN SOLUTION
 • Implement new blast timing
A surface coal mine needed to implement a new ramp design to reduce the
 and use electronic detonators
haul distance for removal of surface dirt. The ramp would be constructed
using material from their uppermost rock bench. This rock is typically for precision and accuracy
cast into the pit bottom, leaving a small muck pile remaining on top of
 OUTCOME
the highwall.
 • $100,000 saved per ramp shot
It was determined that the volume of the remaining non-cast material was • Non-cast percentage increased
not sufficient for the construction of the ramp. The customer implemented from 52.3% to 67.7%
a new timing scheme to reduce the casting effect, but the volume of
material was still insufficient for ramp construction. As another blast was
already loaded, DynoConsult was asked to provide timing for the next
experimental blast that would reduce the total cast.

Suitable Extinguishing Media: DO NOT FIGHT FIRES INVOLVING EXPLOSIVES.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Not available
Special Hazards Arising from the Substance or Mixture
Fire Hazard: In case of fire involving explosives: Evacuate area. DO NOT fight fires involving explosives. Consult the
most current Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), Guide 112 for additional information. Extreme risk of explosion
from shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition.
Explosion Hazard: Extreme risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire, impact, heat or other sources of ignition.
Reactivity: Accelerates the rate of burning materials.
