 operations. A DYNOMINER® Shaft Pressure Vessel is utilized to load the blast holes
 using mine air to extrude the emulsion through multiple loading hoses simultaneously.
 The viscosity of the product is such that water lubrication is not required during loading
 thus providing a simplified and efficient loading process. A modified formulation (Titan

• ALWAYS check any TITAN 7000 SS loading system before each use to ensure that
 all components meet operational standards including all safety systems. Equipment
 should be calibrated periodically to ensure emulsion explosive quality and explosive
 performance.
• ALWAYS use Dyno Nobel’s DYNOMINER® Shaft Pressure Vessel to maximize safety
 when loading TITAN 7000 SS bulk explosives underground. DYNOMINER® is easy
 to operate and maintain, reduces manual product handling, improves efficiency
 and flexibility and incorporates a robust design for dependable operation in the
 underground environment. Contact your Dyno Nobel representative for details.
• NEVER use TITAN 7000 SS in the presence of reactive ground, as defined by the
 AEISG Elevated Temperature and Reactive Ground Code of Practice. In reactive
 ground conditions, only inhibited explosive products (products validated by testing
 to be suitable for the application requirements) should be used. If reactive ground is
 confirmed or suspected, consult your Dyno Nobel representative for recommendations
 on addressing these conditions.

 TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS - continued • TITAN 7000 SS can be stored for 3 months at temperatures between -18º C and 32ºC
• ALWAYS use Dyno Nobel approved loading equipment which has been designed (0º F and 90º F). Older product should be used first and all storage tanks should be
 specifically for handling repumpable emulsion explosive for shaft sinking applications. kept clean of residual product.

• ALWAYS use bulk emulsion best practices during loading to minimize emulsion • Use only pumps which have been approved by Dyno Nobel for 1.5 emulsion
 spillage around the blast area and to further limit preblast ammonia fume generation explosive transfer. Pump type, pump speed, worn pump parts, repeated repumping
 whenever possible. and pumping against high hose pressures can increase TITAN 7000 SS viscosity and
 decrease shelf life.
• ALWAYS insert the loading hose to the bottom of the hole before pumping TITAN
 7000 SS to optimize explosive performance. • ALWAYS monitor emulsion pump performance and check pumps periodically for
 excessively worn parts. Design storage facilities to minimize repeated pumping.
• ALWAYS consult your Dyno Nobel representative for special equipment and loading
 recommendations before planning a TITAN 7000 SS blast program that requires • Transport, store, handle and use TITAN 7000 SS in compliance with federal, state,
