Underground mining is complex by nature. Fragmented workflows, difficult ground conditions and the need to balance safety, productivity and efficiency can make consistent performance hard to achieve.

At Orica, we believe better outcomes start with a connected approach. By bringing together planning, charging, initiation and blast control, we help operations move from isolated decisions to coordinated execution.

Our integrated underground solutions are designed to improve visibility, strengthen control and enable safer, more productive outcomes across the entire mining process. Because when every part of the operation works together, performance doesn’t just improve, it becomes more predictable, reliable and easier to sustain.
 

• Enhanced safety: Wireless blasting systems like WebGen™ reduce exposure to hazardous environments and enable remote initiation.
• Improved productivity: Precision blasting and digital planning tools optimise stope recovery and minimise dilution.
• Operational efficiency: Integrated platforms like BlastIQ™ Underground support real-time blast management and compliance tracking.
• Reduced ventilation load: Low-emission explosives improve air quality and reduce energy costs in ventilated environments.
• Expert support: On-site technical services and training ensure consistent performance and continuous improvement.
• Flexible energy control: 4D™ Underground enables tailored energy placement to improve ore recovery, reduce dilution, and enhance blast efficiency in complex underground conditions
