TITAN® XL for Wet Blasting Conditions (EEG Guide), page 1 of 1

TITAN® XL emulsion was utilized as a water resistant product that could be chemically gassed to various lower densities. Instead of the 1.30 gm/cc density of the 50/50 blend, TITAN XL was brought down to 1.10 gm/cc. The product is pumped through a hose placed in the hole. This eliminates the need to de-water the boreholes.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 ®
 • ALWAYS use Dyno Nobel PRIMACORD brand detonating cord with TROJAN NB
 Universal cast boosters for best results.
 • NEVER use detonating cord with a coreload less than (5.3 g/m or 25 gr/ft) for single
 pass threading.
 • Extremely low temperatures do not affect the performance of cast boosters with com-
 mercial detonators. Low temperatures do affect detonators and detonating cord. Be
 certain your initiation system is suitable for your application in extremely low temper-
 atures. Cast boosters are more susceptible to breakage during handling in extremely
 cold temperatures.

DynoConsult®, BOT Process Helps Iron Ore Producer Reduce Blasting Costs (EEG Guide), page 1 of 1

Blasting is one of the least expensive, yet most critical aspects of the overall mining cycle. To gain a better understanding of production costs and to develop a continuing improvement process, DynoConsult assisted in the development of a Six Sigma® team that utilized the Dyno Nobel Blast Optimization Team (BOT) process.

Using DynoConsult blast auditing tools, areas targeted for improvement were identified. Using the Six Sigma® methodology, processes were put into place to measure and analyze various segments of the drill/blast cycle.

The BOT program implemented key changes and tracked results to insure gains were identified and maintained.

THROUGH SEAM BLASTING MADE IT POSSIBLE TO

Through seam blasting has resulted in improved mining
efficiency at this mine – which should translate to a real
economic benefit. It has provided a blasting option to allow
mining in a pit that has steeply dipping coal seams due to
faulting.
The value to the mine is:
 Minimal coal loss of a coal seam that was unable to be
 efficiently blasted due to the limitations of ®
