The drill and blast method is a widely employed technique in mining operations, particularly in hard rock mining. This process involves two key components: drilling holes into the rock formation and subsequently blasting the rock to facilitate its fragmentation. Drill patterns are meticulously designed to optimise the blasting process, considering factors like rock type, size, and desired fragmentation. The drilling phase utilises specialised equipment to bore holes into the rock, where explosiv
