Drilling and blasting practices have been developed that are intended to optimize grade control by minimizing forward rock movement, while creating a suitable product for load and haul operations..
In an underground gold mining operation in Nevada, blasting in a drift caused a roof fall in another drift situated about 25 ft below the blasted drift. When the blast occurred in the upper drift, about 40 to 50 tons of material above the anchorage zone, supported by 6-ft roof bolts, fell as a result of the blast.

Nevada Gold production for 2015 is 5,339,659 million troy ounces, over 400,000 ounces higher than the 2014 production recorded.
Nevada Gold Corp. (Yukon-Nevada Gold, 2007), the current owner and operator. Disseminated gold deposits were discovered at Jerritt Canyon in 1972. Open pit mining operations involving several small open pits began in 1981 (Queenstake, 2006). Underground mining began in 1992 as the surface operations began to reach their economic limits (Ash, 2006).
Drilling and blasting is the controlled use of explosives and other methods such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics, to break rock for excavation.It is practiced most often in mining, quarrying and civil engineering such as dam, tunnel or road construction.The result of rock blasting is often known as a rock cut.. Drilling and blasting currently utilizes many different varieties of

Without blasting and more importantly, the teams of “blasters” required to perform this act safely, mining as we know it today wouldn’t exist. The tools and techniques required to unearth the world’s minerals have come a long way in a relatively short period of time but nothing can match the impact that “Drilling and Blasting” have
Mining in Nevada is regulated under the authority of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 445A.300-NRS 445A.730 and the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 445A.350-NAC 445A.447.Water Pollution Control Permits (WPCP) are issued to an operator prior to the construction of any mining, milling, or other beneficiation process activity.

Recently, several mining operations report the use of the 'mine to mill' concept in optimizing total cost per unit metal recovered. Part of this methodology is to produce a product in the open pit, which is designed to reduce downstream costs and total unit cost, rather than simply minimizing the cost of the drilling and blasting operation.
Blasting is the most productive excavation method in hard rock mining. In quarries, to remove the mother rock from in-situ and crush into the desired size is realized by bench blasting method.
