Interesting videos, Bernard. There's a nice range of blasting styles in
there from careful trim shots and pre-splits (for minimising dmage to pit
walls) to one or two nice ore shots, I'd suggest, with minimal heave and
disturbance (so you can find the ore afterwards !). One or two are pretty
spectacular, probably waste shots - nobody really cares where that ends up.
