The EXPLO 99 Conference on
rockbreaking is the fourth of an established series of conferences for people
interested in the business of blasting. The volume that resulted from the
conference contains 39 papers divided into eleven sections:
The Business of Blasting
Blast Optimisation
Blast Engineering/Emulsion Blasting
Vibrations from Blasting
Blast Modelling
Blast Damage and Overbreak
Drill and Blast
Initiating Systems
Blasting Practice
New Technology and
Back to
Basics. The conference was hosted by the
Kalgoorlie Branch of The AusIMM in association with the Western Australian
School of Mines.
