2025 Three Tools for 2025 to Enhance D&B Performance As we look back on 2024, we wanted to highlight the three most valuable tools that all D&B operations could use to help improve their work rolling into 2025.
blasting Webinar Summary- Violence Factor: A New KPI for Assessing Blast Performance Dr Anthony Konya presents on using Violence Factor (VF) to assess blast performance. This new KPI will help blasters and site managers to evaluate and improve blast performance.
drilling Webinar Summary- Optimizing Fragmentation Using Measure While Drilling and 3D Analytics Data Traditionally, drilling data has been difficult to capture and combine with blast design information. Now, new technologies like 3D image analysis and Measure While Drilling(MWD) data allow blasters and site managers to "see" inside the bench in ways never before possible.
ai Webinar Summary- After The Blast: Measuring Blast Performance with Drones and AI Blasting experts Brad Gyngell and Jon Lewis discuss how and why everyone should implement drone and AI technologies to streamline post-blast assessment and optimize blast performance
ai What the Muck? Using Drones and Artificial Intelligence is making post-blast analysis faster, easier, and more accessible than ever.
blasting Connecting the Solutions- Mining & Quarrying Companies Need an AI Powered Dashboard Data silos are a well known obstacle for the quarrying industry. Ravi Sahu and Kevin Vonesh have an answer- an AI powered Solutions Dashboard.
drones Drones, Drills, & Data Three technologies enabling massive improvements in drilling are Drones, AI, and smart drills. Used individually, they give a huge advantage, but when combined, they allow the modern driller to accomplish a level of insights never before seen.

artificial intelligence Making Depleted Deposits Profitable by Increasing Extraction Efficiency Better extraction methods create better yields. As ore deposits become increasingly depleted and of lower quality, mines must become more efficient at accessing the remaining ore in order to maintain profitability while keeping commodity costs low enough to feed demand.
