Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to Predict Stope Overbreak at Plutonic Underground Gold Mine

Drilling and blasting still remains the most cost-effective and widely used method for extracting ore in hard rock underground mine. A major consequence of drilling and blasting in mines is that of overbreak. While many researchers have focused on identifying parameters effecting stope overbreak and...
