Drill & Blast
In numerous projects, we oversee and execute our own drill and blast operations, enabling us to maintain greater oversight of the processes within the opencast mining chain and mitigate risks associated with reliance on external parties. We utilize both top hammer and down-the-hole drill rigs, and we possess expertise in drilling across diverse rock types, including both hard and soft applications. Our in-house team specializes in designing and refining blast patterns to achieve optimal fragmentation, ensure clean loading services, maximum cast gain and enhance safety measures such as highwall stability. To achieve these optimizations, we employ a combination of conventional shock tube and electronic detonation techniques.
delivering a superior service
Traditionally operations were predominantly based in the coal sector, current operations have extended into platinum, andalusite, gold, phosphate, manganese, limestone and diamonds with strategic intent being to diversify into other mineral sectors and grow our geographical footprint into Africa.
