Reviewed by Laura ThomsonIn a recent article published in Geosciences, researchers presented research on secondary fragmentation in cave mining environments. Fragmentation assessment is underscored as it directly influences operational efficiencies and economic outcomes. In cave mining, the generation of coarse rock fragments can obstruct draw points, while the presence of fines may lead to dangerous conditions such as dry inrushes or mud rushes, significantly affecting production rates.
