Drilling and blasting. The ore deposit can be mined by means of drilling and blasting in order to fracture the rock into a loadable size. Blasting parameters should be matched with mechanical machines for drilling of blast holes and charging of explosives. Blast holes are drilled in welldefined patterns, which consist of several parallel rows.

Sublevel Open Stoping originated in the early 1900's in iron ore mines in Michigan, USA. It was developed over the years from a method originally known as short hole bench and train a large scale open stoping method, it is often referred to as long hole or blast hole stoping. A Typical Sublevel Open Stoping Operation.

Enough ore has to be removed before drilling and blasting can start on the next slice. Once the ore is completely blasted, it is then drawn off or shrunk. Though this method is selective and allows for low dilution, most of the ore will stay in the stope until mining is complete. This means a delayed return of investment. To provide an adequate ...

Pilot drilling is a process of drilling a pilot hole in a small diameter along the axis of shaft (Fig. 4). When the pilot hole breaks through into the lower level, the roller bit is removed and replaced with a reaming head. The reamer is rotated and pulled back toward the drilling unit, and eventually the shaft is formed.
