CASE STUDY

TITAN® XL 1000 YIELDS EXCELLENT RESULTS
 PROJECT SUMMARY
TITAN TECHNOLOGY PROPOSED IN PLACE OF
MB SENSITIZED EMULSION
Quarries in the Chicago Land area have been using 1.2 g/
cc density MB sensitized emulsion. Hole depths vary from
very short benches up to 180’, sometimes with multiple
decks.

Many of the quarries are located very close to populated
areas. The primary mineral deposits in this region is
limestone and much of it is well laminated with a significant
amount of cracks and seams in the formations.

TECHNOLOGY APPLIED NEXT STEPS
TITAN XL TECHNOLOGY WAS INTRODUCED MOVE TOWARDS DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY™
GRADUALLY As confidence grows with existing technology, area sales
TITAN XL 1000 with end of hose gassing was introduced management will develop target customers who could
into this area gradually over a three month period. benefit from the use of DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY.

RESULTS
CUSTOMER WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THE
EXCELLENT RESULTS
Several customers that have utilized this technology so
far do not want to go back to the MB sensitized emulsion.
Comments from customer include:
 1. “Muck pile is flatter.”
 2. “Rock distribution throughout the entire muck pile is
 more uniform with significant reduction in oversized
 material.”
Blasters have commented:
 1. “Even though the target is a 1.20 g/cc density fewer
 pounds are being used because migration into the
 cracks and seams has improved significantly.”
 2. “Patterns at one account have expanded over 30%
 with improved equal or better digging.”
 3. “Blasters and operators are paying more attention
 as they are now utilizing the TITAN Calculator to
 calculate loading columns.”

High Accuracy DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System)
 The DGPS is a high accuracy (sub 3.28 feet / one meter), new addition to the CE4
 Commander blasting system. The market leading CE4 Commander system has been further
 enhanced with the DGPS technology to accurately detect blast hole positions.

How does the system work? High accuracy differential GPS will revolutionize the deployment and tagging of the 4G
 detonators for surface mining. Potential human error with regards to incorrect blast hole
 identification or incorrect delay assignment is practically eliminated.

What is the difference between regular GPS and Differential GPS?
 GPS Normal GPS provides a position of an object on earth. It uses signals
Satellites generated by satellites revolving around the earth.

GPS technology uses standalone receivers where the location is directly
 calculated but is also prone to errors such as satellite orbit errors, multi-path
 errors and clock errors. As a result, GPS can gain a nominal accuracy of
 32 - 50 feet (10 - 15 meters).

Therefore, normal GPS accuracy is not suitable for blast hole positioning.
 This is why Detnet has developed a user-friendly Differential-GPS (DGPS)

 Crusher

Project Summary
TIGHT TIMETABLE AND CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
COMMUNITIES TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION
Dyno Nobel has been providing shot service to a hard rock
quarry in the Eastern United States with six production
benches ranging in depth from 35 to 45 feet. The current
hole diameter is 6.5” and patterns vary in the pit due to
bench height and geology. TITAN® DIFFERENTIAL
ENERGY™ and DigiShot® detonators are being used
to improve fragmentation and digging, while controlling
vibration in this hard rock geology.
The quarry is planning to relocate their primary crusher onto
the floor of level seven, which has not been established yet.
The plan is to remove all rock on level seven within 200 feet
of the proposed crusher location prior to construction. The
timetable is tight and the quarry wants to get down 45 feet
as quickly as possible. Due to the quarry’s location being in
fairly close proximity to two residential communities as well
as a couple of single residences near the quarry property
line, the Dyno Consult representative felt it wise to take it
down in two lifts of 23 feet to reduce vibration levels and the
risk of flyrock from a totally confined blast.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
UREA PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 UREA prill is a small diameter, spherical white solid. It is an
Prill 46-0-0 organic amide molecule containing 46% nitrogen in the form of amine groups. UREA is
 infinitely soluble in water and is suitable for use as an agricultural fertilizer as well as for
 industrial applications which require a high quality nitrogen source. It is not a poison to
 SDS mammals and birds and is a benign and safe chemical to handle.
 Properties #1132
 APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Hazardous Shipping Description
 • There are no specific DOT restrictions, other than weight, to transport UREA.
 • A large spill of UREA should be recovered dry. All attempts should be made to
 keep it from dissolving into a vegetated drainage. The high nitrogen content
 (46%) can kill foliage if not diluted. Dissolved UREA can be handled, if necc-
 essary, by a municipal water treatment facility.
 • Consult MSDS #1132 for more specific and comprehensive information about
