Thermal fragmentation various applications.....The versatility of the technology allows not only to mine narrow mineralised corridors that are very often left untouched considering the high extraction costs with conventional mining methods, but also has several additional applications within the mining and construction industries.
In essence the technology replaces and / or improves:
· Room and pillar method (flat or reef)
· Small Long hole method
· Shrinkage method
The versatility of the technology also allows us to offer services such as :
- Ventilation raises (primary and secondary)
- Drop / Blind raising
- Drainage holes of 30 cm and more
- Vibration blasting control
- Perimeter blasting and stress reduction
- Drift cuts
- Ore recovery while drifting
- Ore pass/waste pass
- Security exits
Usage of the technology translates into the following benefits: substantial cost reductions, increased productivity, very significant reduction in dilution, marked reduction in the use of explosives, fewer accidents and physically less challenging.
