5.1 Extinguishing Media
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: DO NOT FIGHT FIRE WHEN FIRE REACHES EXPLOSIVES.
For Safety Reasons Unsuitable Extinguishing Agents: None.
5.2 Special Hazards Arising from the Substance or Mixture
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIGHT FIRES INVOLVING EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS. Evacuate all personnel to a predetermined
safe location, no less than 2,500 feet in all directions. Can explode or detonate under fire conditions. Burning material
may produce toxic vapors. It is recommended that users of explosives material be familiar with the Institute of Makers of
Explosives Safety Library publications.

5.3 Advice for Firefighters
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Wear fully protective suit.
Additional Information
Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Flammability Classification: (defined by 29 CFR 1910.1200) Explosive. Can

Walking the Shot
 Dyno Nobel strongly recommends walking the shot pattern after completion of
 tie-in to ensure proper path and connections. Phsycially check all connectors
 for complete insertion into the clip. This does not requre the units to be picked
 up from the ground; if the units were properly hooked and pinned, the inspecting
 person can easily see them.

In situations where it will be difficult for the blaster to get back in on the shot to
 verify all holes have fired, Dyno Nobel recommends an additional number of
 surface units be tied to the last holes in the blast to help ensure all surface units
 have fired. Surface units with lead-in-lines may be used to get the units in a safe
 location for a post-blast examination.

Signature hole analysis was used for each blast to determine the optimal delay time to balance the need for minimal
vibration, prevention of flyrock, and a well-fragmented muckpile. Dyno Nobel’s TITAN 1000 DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY was
used in conjunction with the DigiShot electronic detonator system. DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY was selected because it
allowed the team to adjust the explosive characteristics based on the changing geology at the site, and DigiShot detonators
provided the control of the blast necessary to achieve the mine’s goals.
