CASE STUDY

MINE UTILITIZES BLASTWEB™ TO INTIATE MINE-
WIDE CENTRAL BLASTING

BACKGROUND
LARGE GOLD MINE WITH DEEP ORE BODY
The Black Fox Complex is in the well-established Timmins
Gold Mining Camp in North Eastern Ontario, Canada. It is
positioned approximately 10 kilometres East of the town
of Matheson, 85 kilometres East of the city of Timmins,
adjacent to Provincial Highway 101.

The Black Fox Mine is a gold mine which had two operations
running at one time, open pit and underground. Currently
the site is only mining underground due to the depth of the
ore body, accessing the underground workings by a portal
driven at the bottom of the open pit.
Trench Blasting Guide (Guide), page 3 of 20

Causes of Unsafe and Ineffective Trench Blasting
• Drilling Accuracy: Check every borehole for borehole
drift from vertical with instrument or inverted ﬂashlight on
loading tape. Borehole deviation is a signiﬁcant safety
problem because of the possibility of ﬂyrock, which is
compounded in trench blasting due to heavy conﬁnement
and close proximity of all the holes.
• Underloading Boreholes: Shoot the trench on paper
with the recommended formula for column height, pow-
der factor, stemming and delay pattern before drilling and
loading the shot. In addition, test shooting a small section
of the trench will improve hole pattern and product selec-
tion success.
• Overloading Boreholes: Consider using blasting mats
or debris-free dirt cover for added safety against ﬂyrock.
• Geological Analysis: Failure to properly evaluate the
rock properties, prominent seams or joining planes may
cause poor results.
• Improper Product Selection: Using explosives that
deadpress, that have insufﬁcient energy per unit or too
little density may cause product failure or poor breakage.

Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include: redness, pain, swelling, itching, burning, tearing, and
blurred vision. Ingestion: Ammonium Nitrate: Ingestion may cause methemoglobinemia. Intial manifestation of methemoglobinemia is
cyanosis, characterized by navy lips, tongue and mucous membranes, with skin color being slate grey. Further
manifestation is characterized by headache, weakness, dyspnea, dizziness, stupor, respiratory distress and death due to
anoxia. If ingested, nitrates may be reduced to nitrites by bacteria in the digestive tract. Signs and symptoms of nitrite
poisoning include methemoglobinemia, nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate, hypotension, fainting and possibly shock. Large doses may cause systemic acidosis. Chronic Symptoms: None expected under normal conditions of use. Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Causes methemoglobinemia – emergency
response should treat appropriately, such as by intravenous administration of methylene blue.

Connecting Shock Tube to Detonating Cord Using J-Hooks
 Dyno Nobel recommends Primacord detonating cords specifically designed as
 trunklines for the initiation of shock tube through J-hook connections. All LP
 detonators are supplied with J-hook attachments, which work with drift, stope or
 shaft rounds.
 1. Connect the J-hook of each lead to the detonating cord trunkline.
 2. Be sure the shock tube is connected to the detonating cord at right angles
 and is pulled tight from the drill hole to the detonating cord trunkline. Make
 all J-hook connections at least 20 cm (8 in) from all detonating cord knots.
 Do not allow slack in the shock tube going from the J-hook to the collar
 of the drill hole; if the detonating cord touches the shock tube or is closer
 than 15 cm (6 in), the tube may be severed rather than initiated upon
 detonation.

A lways cut a “V” slot in the load-
 ing hose to prevent abrasion of
 shock tube during loading.

A lways be sure NONEL connec-
 tions are at right angles (90°)
 to the detonating cord trunklines to
 prevent angle cut-offs.
