CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara is one of the leading mining companies in
Indonesia, focusing on the exploration and extraction of copper and gold ore. The drilling
and blasting processes are crucial stages in mining activities to obtain valuable ore.

Evaluation and optimization of the drilling and blasting processes are important to
ensure operational efficiency, increased productivity, cost control, and improved safety.
Effective drilling and precise blasting can maximize ore production with suitable rock
fragmentation.

In an effort to enhance drilling and blasting performance, PT Amman evaluates

parameters such as the type of explosives used, drilling patterns, and blasting designs. By
leveraging modern technology and advanced equipment, the company strives to improve
the accuracy and efficiency of these processes.

In addition to productivity and efficiency factors, PT Amman places high value on

safety and environmental sustainability. The company adheres to strict safety standards
and implements responsible mining practices to manage waste and reduce negative
environmental impacts.

Through the evaluation and optimization of drilling and blasting processes, PT

Amman aims to achieve better outcomes in terms of ore quality, higher recovery rates,
optimal cost control, and improved safety. All of these efforts are geared towards
maintaining the company's operational sustainability, benefiting stakeholders, and
contributing to the economic and social development in the surrounding area.
