Drill and Blast Europe

January 18, 2011

Stockholm, Sweden

Drill & Blast Europe will bring together a leading panel of experts to discuss resource independence, the best methods for mining and how to develop optimum drill and blast techniques.

Currently, we are using raw materials as if they have no limits. European countries are increasingly realising that they need to be self sufficient when it comes to raw materials if they want to continue advancing economically.

Mining is on the rise, and that is why perfecting one of the most effective methods in underground and open pit mining -- drill and blast -- is of extreme importance.

Social and environmental considerations are essential, and mining operators have to comply with local government’s legislation. At Drill & Blast Europe, you will get insight into important issues that will equip you to:

• Learn about new techniques that will help you achieve better rock fragmentation

• Understand how can you avoid damage to pit walls through advanced design

• Showcase new technology that gives you accurate monitoring of your vibration level and with that

• How to avoid secondary blasting to save on time and costs

Our speakers will address practical methods to improve drill and blast operations both through technical strategy and practical studies of operations on site. These methods will improve your capacity to deliver improved drill and blast operation that will keep your mine productive and profitable.
