Sub-drilling. The most common cause of sporadic toes and elevated floors after a blast is insufficient sub-drilling for one or more boreholes. It is important to understand that a sub-drill increases the tension zone of the bench to the grade of the floor and an ideal sub-drill for this is around 30 per cent of the burden.
