(PDF) Ch. 74 / Techniques in Underground Mining …
The exploitation of open pit deposits usually takes place through a series of mining phases, commonly known as pushbacks. In open pit metalliferous mining, each pushback considers the extraction of one or more benches simultaneously in a process where the core operational tasks include: drilling, blasting, loading and hauling.

Orica Creates Rock-Blasting Robot for Safer Underground Mining
Underground mining involves a four-step process: drilling blast holes, filling those holes with explosives (or "charging"), detonating the explosives and, finally, removing the broken rock (or "mucking"). In the charging phase, primer-detonator assemblies are placed in the blast holes via a flexible hose.

Techniques in Underground Mining
The Underground Mine. The underground mine is a factory located in the bedrock inside the earth in which miners work to recover minerals hidden in the rock mass. They drill, charge and blast to access and recover the ore, i.e., rock containing a mix of minerals of which at least one can be processed into a product that can be sold at a profit.
