Track 6: Mining Engineering and Mine Planning

First, early calibration in a surrogate area accelerated rollout and reduced uncertainty at A3N. Second, zoning by stand‑off distance simplified decision rules and helped maintain consistency under changing geometries. Third, a disciplined digital QA/QC workflow—linking planning, execution, and measurement—made it possible to optimize parameters without compromising safety or compliance. Optimization of Drilling and Blasting with High-Energy Explosives To ensure a rigorous evaluation of the high-energy explosive implementation, a comprehensive monitoring campaign was conducted over the first six months of the project (from Oct-24 to Mar-25). This included systematic measurement of powder factor (g/t), fragmentation (P80, mm), and EX1200 loading times (minutes), along with direct cost tracking for drilling and blasting.
