Reactive ground conditions increase the risk of explosives deflagration and/or unplanned detonations. Unexpected and highly reactive ground conditions were recently experienced at a large open-pit zinc mine in the Northern Cape of South Africa.
This white paper is an overview of BME’s investigation and recommended actions.

When a South African zinc mine experienced a premature detonation in one of its blastholes, BME was soon on site to investigate the incident and apply a safe strategy to proceed.

With mining seeing a more sustained improvement in many Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, miners, and supply partners with experience on the ground are set to have greater gains in the coming year.

Mining solutions specialist BME Mining Canada Inc. will use the Canadian Mining Expo to further highlight its blasting technology and other services to the Canadian mining industry.

“The enthusiasm accompanying the Indaba shows how much has been achieved, and how much more value can still be generated from minerals – to stimulate inclusive growth across Africa.”
