Oxygen balance

Oxygen balance Why do we care?

AIRBLAST Sources of Airblast

Environmental Conditions

• Too little burden

that can manipulate Airblast

• Too little stemming

• Wind

• Detonating Cord

• Temperature Inversions

Key Strategic Questions Global EMTS Software Strategy

Value

Assumption

US$250,000 per day, per site.

P80 sizing reduces by >20%.

Total crusher throughput increases 5kT per day

Increased dig rates

US$240,000 per day, per dig unit

Pattern Expansion

AU$25M p.a. all sites

IDR increase AVG onsite ~200T/hr @ US$50/t.

10% pattern expansion. All in blasting cost per tonne = $0.30 Blasted tonnes all sites = 850M
