Mining Services

Orica Mining Services offers commercial explosives, initiating systems and Blast-Based Services to the mining, quarrying and construction industries.

 

The business is run globally with a presence in Australia, Asia, Europe, the former Soviet Union, Africa, the Middle East, India, North America and Latin America.

 

During 2006, the acquisition of parts of Dyno Nobel’s commercial explosives business was completed and the acquired businesses integrated into Orica Mining Services.  Some of the opportunities for synergy and growth presented by the acquisition are already being realised.

 

Orica is the world’s leading provider of commercial blasting solutions that are safety-focused, cost-effective, accurate and flexible.  Our product range can be divided into broad segments including Initiating Systems, Ammonium Nitrate, Bulk Explosives and Packaged Explosives.  Our manufacturing plants are world-scale, efficient and strategically located.

 

At Orica, we recognise ‘The Power of Partnership’ and the value of building long-term relationships with our customers.  We are proud of our reputation for superior safety, environmental management, dependability, integrity and expertise, and we aim to maintain and enhance that reputation.

Our customers can have confidence that we will provide efficient energy and superior know-how to increase yield, improve productivity and reduce total process costs.

 

Orica Mining Services is a leading provider of progressive blasting solutions including the innovative i-kon™ Digital Energy Control System and UNI Tronic™ electronic detonators.   We have introduced Blast-Based Services that combine i-kon™ electronic detonator technology and computer modeling to improve rock fragmentation.  To find out more about these products and services, please visit www.oricaminingservices.com.


Orica’s bulk delivery systems are efficient, effective and, above all, safe.  We have the largest modern fleet of Mobile Manufacturing Units (MMUs) in the world.
