Abstract

The paper focuses on the improvement of the ore blasting efficiency in rock masses under the natural, gravity-tectonic and technogenic stresses. The safe and resource-saving process proposed by the authors for the induced block caving in deep hard rock mining reduces consumption of commercial explosives due to the rock pressure energy in the blasting process.
