· 2018: Mechanised shaft sinking technology SBR proves itself in Canada. In August 2018, a milestone in the mining industry was reached with the successful completion of two blind shafts to depths of 975 and 1005 m at the Jansen Potash Project in Saskatchewan, Canada. For the first time, shafts in the mining business have been sunk

In rounds exceeding 8 feet, the relief-hole area should be at least 25 % of the total area in the immediate cut. In weak seamy ground, the “shielded” burn cut design (top-left) in the following examples demonstrates this practice. In hard rock, faster timing between cut holes often improves cut performance.
