The use of explosives for blasting rock began in 1627 in the gold mines of Hungary. Blastholes were hand drilled, black powder was placed into the holes, and wooden plugs were tamped tightly into the holes to confine the explosive. Today, we want to break rock safely, efficiently, and eq:momically with the minimum amount of airblast, ground vibration, and violence.
