Does this look familiar. Relying on complex spread sheets to manage your drill

and blast QA and design process. The system is often only clearly understood by

a few, and can take many hours to collate the data let alone transfer theknowledge or make it easy for others to comprehend.

Maptek has developed in collaboration with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance,

BlastLogic so you can replace archaic, multiple, disjointed systems. Your drill &

blast operations will never be the same again!

Design....... Analyse .... and Validate using this simple, integrated system for

managing your data.

Functionality is wrapped up in an easy-to-use and easy-to-view interface.

The results and benefits are immediately felt and measurable.

BlastLogic targets performance enabling mines to optimise blast accuracy, in

turn positively affecting down stream operations

Leveraging off Mapteks 30 years expertise in 3D modelling, software design and

experience in mining, BlastLogic provides the link between design and

vagaries in the pit

BlastLogic will improve D&B performance by enabling users to quickly adapt blast

design to realities in the pit. It closes the loop between design and variability

in the field.

The result

Disjointed traditional dr ill & blast data flows are repaired.

This avoids inefficiencies, and ambiguous monitoring and control of the D&B

process.

Performance is no longer difficult to track. By linking what happens in the pit to

plan, data integrity and data management are significantly improved.

Blast Logic provides immediate access to data and automated functionality

by removing the breakdown in collecting, storing and analysing data

Importantly, the knowledge developed and learnt is now explicit so BlastLogic

helps empower new personnel inducted into drill and blast operations.

All this adds up to positive, direct impact on the optimal recovery of minerals

and effectiveness of integrated processes.

Immediate access to operational drill and blast data this means all data

associated with mine planning, drill guidance, field survey, blast design and

evaluation.

BlastLogic renders the spatial location of a drill pattern(s) and the changing

characteristics of drill holes together with resource models and site plans.

The automated validation and design tools allow users to quickly enhance a

blast plan to ensure optimal performance.

BlastLogic links all of this in formation together within a searchable and

accessible database so you can easily track & manage blast activities.

Another advantage of fusing your drill & blast dataflow is that you are able to

more effectively preempt risk, productivity & cost issues before they emerge in

the bus iness.

This is accomplished by focusing on KPIs derived from the historical

performance of similar drill and blast events within speciifc regions of your mine.

Critical performance data is intelligently managed and retained, thereby creating

a mechanism to drive incremental improvements.

This isAustralias Gold Winning Mens Double Sculls Team at the Beijing

Olympics. While the race time was the critical measure of performance, many

other factors such as weather, biomechanics, and athlete strength andconditioning all had a part to play in the result.

Because as any elite athlete would attest, the band of opt imal performance is

dynamic. The same can be said for Drill and Blast.

For example, variables such as geology, grade control, personnel, maintenance,

earthmoving equipment are fundamental influences.

Balancing blast accuracy and cost factors can provide insight into the criticalprocesses that underpin a mining operation.

Mission critical information can be graphically represented and assessed in

BlastLogic. This provides the platform for more logical planning and

implementation of blasting activities as a result.

So just to recap, BlastLogic is easy to use, provides immediate access to critical

data and as such delivers repeatable optimal performance across a surface

mines drill and blast operations. It closes the loop between design andvariability in the field.

It provides access to all your D&B data in sophisticated centralised SQL

database. Automatic validation tools make easy work of adapting good blast

practices. Workflows and knowledge transfer are improved ...and the ultimate

benefit is optimising the recovery of ore.

Come over to our product booth in the break or afternoon workshop slot and talk

to us. A couple of the developers are here as well, so we look forward to

discussing how BlastLogic can add value for your operation.
