Underground Mining / Tunnelling

Underground mining utilises drilling and blasting extensively in the development and production stages of operations. There are many aspects of the underground environment that require innovative blast design approaches.

Nick Elith has specialised in some of the more complex underground production and development blasting projects including:

• Longhole Raising
• Steep orebody production
• Narrow vein and selective mining methods
• Hard rock tunnelling and Development blasting
• Wall control, stability and stope dilution controls
