Abstract
costs/benefits of electronic detonators and measure their effects on primary crusher productivity. 9 blasts (3 shock tube blasts, 6 electronic blasts). Measured electricity consumption & primary crusher throughput. Change to Electronic Detonators resulted in a 7% reduction in primary electricity costs and a 15% increase in primary crusher productivity.
