Blaster’s Briefing 6.0 : Quarrying: What Are You Getting Out of Your Blast?
December 15, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Free
What does this training consist of?
Drilling and blasting is the first step of the production chain in quarrying; the results obtained in this initial stage usually have a deep impact in all the costs downstream. Therefore, efficient blasting becomes critical for those stone producers who want to keep the global production cost as low as possible.
In this new webinar we will explain the so-called Mine-to-Mill concept and will present recent technical work performed in a major quarry in the UK that serves as a brilliant example of cost optimisation
When and how will the training take place?
On 15 th december at two times:
- 9 AM GMT (UK TIME)
- 16 PM GMT (UK TIME)
It will be done in online format.
