Mining solutions specialist BME has released a new version of its popular Xplolog system for capturing and analysing data on blast holes and decks.
To achieve optimal blasting results for mining efficiency, mines need real-time data from their blasting blocks; BME’s new generation Xplolog does just that – and is being put to work at a large opencast mine in South Africa’s Northern Cape province.
The blast was conducted by BME, an Omnia Group company, at the end of 2020 at a manganese mine in South Africa’s Northern Cape province. Using its well-proven AXXIS electronic initiation system, BME was able to plan and execute a blast of 4,647 detonators. Just a few months earlier, the company had broken a previous record at the same mine by initiating 3,780 detonators in a single blast.
