Planning of the blasting operatins of the Gokirmak copper mine

In this study, the blasting works to be realized at Gökırmak Copper Mine field were investigated and studies performed for current situation related to the site were examined and various blasting pattern plans also put into operation for the field in the direction of geological and geophysical data. There are many factors affecting operations related to blasting works. The factors mentioned in the present study are searched one by one. Various blasting and blasting designs have been carried out in accordance with the data obtained from leading companies in the blasting sector. Separate and general blasting pattern designs have also been proposed for the possible water problem, slope stability, sulfuric mineralization (reactive ground), which are effective problems for the Gökırmak Copper Mine Project. Keywords: Open-Pit Mining, Reactive Ground, Drilling And Blasting, Blasting Design, Slope Stability.
