In pursuit of continuous improvement in drilling and blasting activities, Hexagon Mining | MineSight increasingly improves HxM Blast. The following are some of the great advancements of the tool. One of the great novelties presented in HxM Blast is the option of an electronic initiation system. This type of detonator allows greater control and use of detonations, generating production gains, lower costs, lower vibrations, safety, reduction of environmental impacts, among others. By using the electronic detonator it is possible to create several Sub Shots and thus load the holes taking into account the different lithologies. It is also possible to apply different explosive loads in the same hole considering the lithological variation (Deck) and thus achieving an optimization of the blast, with better adaptation to the desired granulometry and reduction of explosive costs. Another new feature is the ability to perform…

Finding the right strategy at the conceptual level of the project is crucial as it will provide improvements in all subsequent scheduling and sequencing techniques. MineSight Economic Planner (MSEP) makes it possible to quickly evaluate different scenarios and define the best mining strategy for the project, through economic evaluations and cut grade optimization. In addition to all this strategic importance, today we are going to highlight the most relevant points and the great advantages offered by MSEP: MSEP also has the Pseudoflow algorithm, which is a pit optimization method that considerably reduces execution times. Compared to Lerchs & Grossman's algorithm, Pseudoflow is much faster and the result is the same; MSEP has several manual controls for the design and analysis of phases (pushbacks), with the options: Base, MULTP, MULTV, MULTZ, AUTOP and Starter Pit. Thus, it is possible to control in a simple and objective way, obtaining a better result; …

Vein modeling is a common subject in mining. Ore occurs associated with veins and domain constraint interpolations are required to maintain grade continuity. Using traditional modeling techniques, you can spend days or weeks manually editing the data and sketching lines. As a result, some problems may occur, such as: 1 – Produce a single model for the warehouse. 2 – The model often represents the interpretation of data made by only one person. 3 – It can be challenging to replicate or repeat the process as new data becomes available. 4 – It is usually done after the survey, rather than during the survey. Being done during drilling, the modeling allows the geologist to analyze the results and adjust the drilling campaign whenever necessary. In…
