Recently, the Congo (DRC) Lamika Co., Ltd. coordinated and subcontracted the first mining blasting of the Bomby copper-cobalt mine project. The final blasting inspection confirmed that the blasting was safe and orderly and achieved the expected results.
A total of three blasting areas were planned for this blasting, including one KE stope and two PN stopes, with a total of 130,000 cubic meters blasted. Since the start of the infrastructure divestiture on December 8, 2018, the stripping operations have continued to advance. Since the second half of this year, as mining pits have gradually extended downwards, large blocks and hard rocks have gradually increased, mining and stripping operations have become more difficult, and blasting work has been put on the agenda. The company closely coordinated mining, stripping and blasting units to overcome the problems of on-site personnel and equipment shortages. At the end of July, it accelerated the handling of blasting and explosive transportation permits. In early August, it carried out piercing operations and blasting safety measures deployment, and finally determined that the conditions for blasting were met. .
The successful "first explosion" of the Bomby copper-cobalt mine is an important breakthrough for the project to coordinate internal and external resources and overcome the disadvantageous conditions of "deblocking the epidemic". It also laid a solid foundation for the next trial production and commissioning of the project.
