News: Introducing Dyno Nobel’s ΔE© Differential Energy (EEG Guide), page 1 of 2

Groundbreaking Performance through Practical Innovation

Living up to the vision of ‘Groundbreaking Performance through Practical Innovation’, the Dyno Nobel Technology Team has developed and introduced to the market a revolutionary solution to optimize blast performance.  Differential Energy is a proprietary method for precisely targeting explosive energy to match rock properties.

Geological conditions can vary significantly within the mining landscape.  Hard rock bands and seams sometimes end up at various places throughout the borehole, causing unwanted effects to the blasting process, such as flyrock and poor fragmentation.  Dyno Nobel’s development team has partnered with mining operators to develop solutions for problems like this.  Through the efforts of many talented employees in R&D, Engineering, Product Management and Tradestar, Dyno Nobel created an industry breakthrough.

HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
 It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors
 including: form of product; frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control
 measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to
 prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will
 assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.

Drill to Mill Project adds $58.1 Million for Metals Mine by Optimizing Mill Throughput (Case Study), page 3 of 3

CASE STUDY

VALUE ADDED
15% INCREASE IN MILL THROUGHPUT FOR $58.1 MILLION IN VALUE ADDED
Using the Drill to Mill process, the site achieved and exceeded its mill throughput goals for the first time in its history.
Changes to burden and spacing, explosives density, stemming length, blast initiation timing, and priming practices
produced measurably better rock fragmentation, particularly in the targeted -1/2” size fraction. Conservative estimates by
the customer show a minimum of a 15% increase in mill throughput by increasing the -1/2” size fraction by ~5% to nearly
10% over the course of the year.

Based upon the customer’s calculations, the Drill to Mill process over the past year showed a monetized value-add to the
operation of $58.1 million. Additional downstream benefits in truck and shovel cycle times, bucket fill factors, extended
GET and shovel rope wear, crusher power consumption, and mill power consumption are anticipated.

 APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 109a Black • For detailed application recommendations, ALWAYS request a copy of Dyno Nobel’s
 Product Manual: NONEL® and PRIMACORD® from your Dyno Nobel representative.
 • ALWAYS attach the shock tubes of NONEL TD units leading to other holes to the
 detonating cord using the J-hook. Attach the J-hook to the detonating cord downline
 between the previous bunch block and the collar of the blast hole leaving at least 30
 cm (12 in) between the adjacent bunch block.
 • ALWAYS leave 13 cm (5 in) between the J-hook and any detonating cord knot. Ensure
 that outgoing shock tubes connect at right angles to the detonating cord and that the
 lid is tightly closed

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
EXPLOSIVE. Will explode under specific conditions. May evolve toxic gases (carbon/ nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to
decomposition. Eliminate all ignition sources including cigarettes, open flames, spark producing switches/tools, heaters, naked lights,
pilot lights, etc when handling. CAUTION: Will explode if exposed to heat or with heavy impact.

5.3 Advice for firefighters
Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Toxic gases may be evolved in a fire situation. Remain upwind and notify those
downwind of hazard. Do not attempt to fight fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas. May explode from
heat, pressure, friction or shock.

5.4 Hazchem code
E Evacuation of people in and around the immediate vicinity of the incident should be considered.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as detailed in section 8 of the SDS. Clear area of all unprotected personnel.

6.2 Environmental precautions
Prevent product from entering drains and waterways.

6.3 Methods of cleaning up
Contain spillage, then collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Eliminate all sources of ignition.

 pH 6.5 - 7.5 • Hot concentrated UREA LIQUOR solution poses a moderate health hazard to the handler. Salt-out Temperature (open vessel) 135oF – 137oF If tissue is contacted with this hot solution it can cause second degree burns. Storage Temperature 40 to 80 F o • ALWAYS wear liquid impervious clothing, gloves and boots. ALWAYS protect eyes and
 face with shield when loading. Weight @ 68 F o

 • UREA will decompose into ammonia, carbon dioxide and nitric acid at 275oF. • ALWAYS wash vessels containing UREA thoroughly before attempting repairs requiring
 welding. • Should a large spill of UREA LIQUIOR solution occur, it should be recovered dry. • ALWAYS restrict it from the drainage. The high nitrogen content (46%) may kill foliage
 if not diluted. • UREA can be handled by the municipal water treatment facility if spilled in a municipality.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
No information provided.

12.4 Mobility in soil
No information provided.

12.5 Other adverse effects
Ammonium nitrate is a nutrient in water. Spills can cause massive algal blooms in static waters and affect local species population
balance in the aquatic environment. If water is used to disperse ammonium nitrate spilled on soil, the solution produced can end up in
the groundwater. Ammonium nitrate will be taken up by bacteria. Nitrate is more persistent in water than the ammonium ion.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
13.1 Waste treatment methods
Waste disposal Waste must be disposed of in accordance with AS2187.2 as well as state regulatory and environmental
 legislation. Small quantities of damaged or deteriorated material may be destroyed by inclusion in a blast
 hole containing good explosives (by licensed personnel). Detonators should not be inserted into defective
 explosives. For large quantities, contact the manufacturer/supplier for additional information.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.

Blast Design Using TITAN® XL 1000 and DigiShot® (EEG Guide), page 1 of 1

As with any sump shot, blasters are shooting into a floor with no relief. This lack of relief causes higher vibration levels and increases the potential for vertical fly-rock and/or airblast. The quarry is located near a residential community and business warehouse park so control of the blast is essential. The extremely hard, massive granite places an additional challenge on the blaster.

Drill to Mill® project adds $58 million for metals mine by optimizing mill throughput (Case Study), page 3 of 3

CASE STUDY

VALUE ADDED
15% INCREASE IN MILL THROUGHPUT FOR $58.1 MILLION IN VALUE ADDED
Using the Drill to Mill process, the site achieved and exceeded its mill throughput goals for the first time in its history.
Changes to burden and spacing, explosives density, stemming length, blast initiation timing, and priming practices
produced measurably better rock fragmentation, particularly in the targeted -1/2” size fraction. Conservative estimates by
the customer show a minimum of a 15% increase in mill throughput by increasing the -1/2” size fraction by ~5% to nearly
10% over the course of the year.

Based upon the customer’s calculations, the Drill to Mill process over the past year showed a monetized value-add to the
operation of $58.1 million. Additional downstream benefits in truck and shovel cycle times, bucket fill factors, extended
GET and shovel rope wear, crusher power consumption, and mill power consumption are anticipated.
