Application of Measurement While Drilling Data for …

 — A general flow of production would be drilling blast holes and blasting. Then the fractured rock and ore would be loaded and hauled to the primary crusher to be crushed and undergo comminution. Next, it would be transported to the next stage of that mine's processing setup. Potential issues mines may face could be at the drilling and blasting ...

Understanding Iron Ores and Mining of Iron Ore – IspatGuru

 — Once prepared, the mine site is cleared of workers and equipment, and the blast is detonated. Each of the holes is detonated just a millisecond apart, resulting in a pile of crude iron ore that is broken apart to a minus 2 m x 2 m size. The wide holes in the ground created by drilling, blasting, and ore removal are referred to as 'open pits'.
