Sub-level open stope

Pre-charge initial blasts using WebGen™ wireless technology and leverage the 4D™ bulk system with LOADPlus™ smart control to deliver tailored energy and automated loading — enhancing ore recovery, improving safety and reducing brow exposure.

Sub-level open stope.

Sub-level open stope.

Orica’s WebGen™ wireless initiation system enables safer, more efficient and productive blasting operations by removing the constraints of traditional wired connections.

Enhanced safety
WebGen™ enables pre-charging of blast holes without physical connections, eliminating the need for personnel to work near open stopes or brows at middle and upper levels. This significantly reduces exposure to geotechnical hazards and improves overall site safety.

Improved ore recovery
WebGen™ allows for post-splitting the perimeter of the stope, ensuring full extraction of ore and reducing ore loss. This is achieved by placing wireless primers in perimeter holes that can be remotely initiated after the main blast, enabling precise control over fragmentation and stope shape.

Maximised free bogging
By pre-charging blast holes with WebGen™ primers, multiple rings can be fired in sequence without the need for re-entry. This continuous firing improves drawpoint availability and reduces reliance on tele-remote bogging, enhancing productivity and minimising operational delays.

The 4D™ bulk system enables tailored energy delivery and automated loading through Orica’s LOADPlus™ smart control system for improved ore recovery and reduced brow exposure.

Improved ore recovery

Post splitting of the stope with WebGen™ ensures full extraction of ore from the stope.

Maximise free bogging

By pre-charging holes with WebGen™ primers, rings can be continually fired, optimising drawpoint availability and enabling a reduction in the use of tele-remote bogging.

Improved safety

Pre-charging with WebGen™ eliminates the need to work near the open stope or brow at the middle and upper levels of the stope.

Pre- charge initial blast for improved ore recovery and safety.

Aggregating charging events will minimise re-entry to the stope, reduce dilution, maximise free bogging and increase the speed of stope turnover.
