P&Q University Lesson 7: Crushing & Secondary Breaking
Today, primary crushing is viewed as more important within the balance of production and proper sizing needs. The size and type of the primary crusher should be coordinated with the type of stone, drilling and blasting patterns, and the size of the loading machine. Most operations will use a gyratory, jaw or impact crusher for primary crushing.

Rock Fragmentation Size Distribution Prediction and Blasting
Rock fragmentation size distribution is often used as an important index to account for the blasting effect because it directly affects the subsequent loading, transportation, and secondary crushing. Due to the mismatching of explosive and rock wave impedance, high boulder yield often occurs which affects the blasting effect. In this …

A Beginner's Guide to Underground Mining | An Underground Miner
Earlier, we mentioned the old-school technique of "drill and blast." This approach is still used, and it is relatively common in underground mining. With drill and blast, a miner clears an area out using explosives, such as ANFO or Emulsion. This breaks up the ore while giving them greater access to the area.
