JK Simblast - Blast Simulation and Management

"Data management is emerging as a major concern for miners. Engineers today are faced with anextensive array of data from varying sources, and are required to consolidate and analyse thisinformation to produce an effective and efficient mine plan. The viability of a mining operation canbe dependent on the outcomes of this process. With so much at stake, it is no surprise that mostengineers prefer a standard approach to blasting which is designed to minimise risk rather thanoptimise performance."
