The World's Largest Recorded Mining Blast
Carried out by the Iron Ore Company of Canada (a subsidiary of Rio Tinto) at its Humphrey South Pit, in Canada, Labrador West.
  • 2100 tonnes of explosive were used in the blast.
  • 1400 holes were drilled.
  • It took ten weeks to load the bench.
  • The bench measured 1.2km long, 15.5m high and was 90m wide.
To give a scale of this blast size, it was half the size of the largest ever man made conventional (non-nuclear) explosion - The Minor Scale, which used just over 4800 tonnes of ANFO.
