AMC Consultants was recently involved in a project that required, amongst other activities, a review of options to measure blast fragmentation in an operating open pit mining environment.
Blast fragmentation measurement is usually depicted as a particle size distribution (PSD) curve relationship of percentage of rock passing verses rock size as shown below.

Often the first budget item to be cut in times of austerity is the exploration drilling. We will not go into the wisdom or consequences of this decision, but rather look at a means to optimize the money available for on-going drilling. Most geologists who have had to do drillhole layouts will have come up with any number of tools or process automations through scripts or macros that help them design a reasonable drill plan in an acceptable time frame. One such approach is described in this article.
