Underground mining operations face daily pressure—tight schedules, last-minute changes, and legacy systems that slow everything down. Orica Digital Solutions is changing that.

Underground mining presents unique challenges—complex operations, high risk, and often outdated workflows relying on paper trails and manual approvals. These issues can lead to inefficiencies, delays, and safety concerns during critical processes like blasting and drilling.

Orica is addressing these challenges head-on with BlastIQ™ Underground, a purpose-built digital solution designed to optimise underground drill and blast operations. By delivering real-time data directly to engineers, planners, and operators, BlastIQ™ helps improve decision-making right at the source. 

The result? Enhanced safety, increased precision, and smoother shift execution.

In this episode of Mining NOW, Digital Solutions Product Manager Sophie Clayton reveals how BlastIQ™ Underground helps operations to plan better, execute faster, and operate safer using real-time drill and blast data.
