Read this article to learn about the blasting techniques adopted in underground and opencast mines. Blasting Techniques Adopted in Underground Mines: Drilling Patterns in Stone: Drilling patterns, also called shot-hole patterns, are named after the type of cut holes used and the principal patterns are: (1) Pyramid cut or cone cut (2) Wedge cut (3) Drage …

 — A significant factor which has limited the use of pre-splitting is the cost involved. Drilling holes at 1m spacings and then charging them with detonating cord is a very expensive and labour-intensive procedure. Most quarries do not have the drilling capacity to cope with both production and pre-split holes, so hiring in may be necessary.
