The efficiency of these unit operations is directly related to the size distribution of muck pile. (Esen and Bilgin, 2000). Kazem and Bahareh (2006) stated that the outcome of a good blasting operation leads to the productiveness of the next stages of mining, such as loading, hauling and crushing process.

Impacts of Drilling and Blasting. Drilling and Blasting is a complex process, that in many situations is not given the full emphasis it deserves in process development and controlling the costs throughout the mine. For example, the blasting process dictates muckpile configuration which effects shovel and loader fill factors.

Open-pit mining technology. Open-pit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineral-processing technology has advanced to the stage where very low-grade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.
