Vistis
Introducing, Vistis™ Bulk System
Introducing the Vistis™ Bulk System; a range of industry leading, high energy bulk emulsion explosives, capable of delivering three and a half times the detonation pressure and triple the Relative Bulk Strength (RBS) of ANFO.
Vistis™ has been proven to deliver
reduced milling costs by optimising fragmentation, increasing mill throughput
and reducing energy consumption.

|
The high levels of energy delivered by Vistis
™ also allows our customers to expand drill patterns without impacting blast results and load and haul rates, unlocking further cost savings.
The Vistis™ Bulk System consists of a range of products and energy levels (225 RBS, 250 RBS and 275 RBS) to suit prevailing ground conditions as well as desired blast results. These products include:
•
Vistis™ – for use in wet hole conditions
•
Vistis™ i – for use in wet hole conditions, where hot and reactive ground is a concern
•
Vistan™ s – for use in dry or dewatered blast holes
•
Vistan™ si – for use in dry or dewatered blast holes where hot and reactive ground is a concern
Vistis™ is currently being used at Evolution Mining’s Mt Rawdon operations to align drill and blast outcomes with their processing plant requirements. This has resulted in mill
throughput improvements of 6%, and pattern expansion in waste domains of up to
55%, delivering significant operational and financial improvements for the
mine.
Further details can be found in the both the case study and video below.
Video Case Study
High Energy Blasting Delivers Milling and Mining Improvements, Evolution Mt Rawdon Queensland
Orica has worked with Mt Rawdon since the site’s commencement in 1998. In recent years, both parties have collaborated on a number of blasting related, business improvement type initiatives, including the introduction of electronic blasting systems, blast characterisation and optimisation projects, and training of site engineers and blast crews.
Following on from this, the mine expressed interest in exploring the potential for increased mill throughput via a high-energy blasting solution. Over the course of the trial, the project was able to deliver mill throughput improvements of 6%, reduction in specific energy of over 7% and dig rate increases up to 15% in mineralised zones. In waste domains, pattern expansion of up to 55% was achieved resulting in significant operational and financial improvements for the mine.
