Specialised drilling and blasting using primarily Atlas Copco (Coprod) drill rigs. Licensed shotfirers carry out blasting using a variety of packaged and bulk explosives.
BCM has extensive experience in all types of materials from heavily oxidized to hard rock. BCM carry out drill and blast operations on all of its Contract Mining projects and many of the Civil Earthworks projects that often require more detailed blasting to conform to design.
BCM have a high level of expertise and experience both in drilling in a wide variety of conditions and shot firing using various types of explosives.
BCM are committed to carrying out drill and blast in a safe and efficient manner and have proven systems in place with respect to storage, transport and loading of explosives, which allow drilling and blasting to be undertaken in the safest possible environment.
BCM are the world’s largest user of the Atlas Copco Coprod system on their drill and blast rigs.
Atlas Copco provides a fast and efficient parts delivery and service support to our rigs worldwide.
Grade Control
The Grade control process is highly dependent on accurate sample and data collection and the management of this data. BCM have the right tools to collect the samples and develop practical systems to interpret the information for allowing timely and accurate decision making.
Drilling
Without a doubt the most important function on the mine. Without clean contaminate free samples, a mine cannot accurately estimate the grade of the ore being mined.
Our track mounted RC rigs our perfectly suited to tight spaced, dusty and congested areas delivering the accuracy and quality of sample demanded by our clients.

Optimised Drilling Patterns
Drilling grade control without a clear plan is a serious waste of money.
Let BCM design and implement a drilling pattern which maximises the NPV or the ore being extracted.
Mine Reconciliation
We can help our clients develop robust reconciliation processes. Providing appropriate reporting to allow tracking of grade control performance over time and comparison to resource and/or reserve models.
Full Hole Service
Our service and operational teams work to deliver the full range of down the hole functions from hole and blast loading, tie-ups, stemming loading and blast management.
Our unique pre-blasting sign off, collates all geology, geotechnical and technical parameters of the blast allowing us to visually determine blast fragmentation prior to firing in order to optimise your products.
Explosives Supply
BCM has partnered with a number of leading explosive supplies to deliver fit for purpose products in a range of commodities throughout Africa and central Asia.
