Platinum Blasting Services

Platinum Blasting Services Platinum provides exceptional blasting services, simplifying mining operations across Australia. And so, Platinum Blasting Services was born.

In just a decade, we've become one of the leading blasting providers. Discover the Platinum difference and understand why numerous mining operations trust us. Our journey began in 2014 with a simple, yet significant insight. Mine operators often found themselves caught between the limitations of larger blasting providers that couldn't provide the personalised service they needed, and smaller opera

tors, which lacked the full suite of blasting capabilities. Recognising a need in the market, we brought together a team of industry experts to solve the problem. Platinum offers all your blasting needs, with a Platinum service you can’t get anywhere else. It’s how we make mining easier at numerous operations across Australia and why we’ve grown to become one of the leading blasting providers to the mining industry in just a decade.

Blink and you’ll miss it!

Here, you can see how strategically timing the shot enabled us to move the material beyond normal conventional limits. This technique optimises productivity for dozer push operations where the further we can move the material, the more efficient the operation is! 🚜

Excited to share this cast blast of ours! This mass dirt-moving technique not only maximises rock fragmentation, but also significantly reduces excavation and transport requirements. 💥⛏️

What a Day at the Moranbah State High School Careers Expo!

Moranbah has always been a big part of our story, so it was a real pleasure to connect with local students as they start thinking about what’s next. From curious questions to energetic conversations, the enthusiasm was great to see.

Our Industry Talks gave students a genuine look into what it’s like to work in blasting, how to get started, and the different paths that can lead to a rewarding career — right here in Moranbah.

Congratulations to the lucky student who won the iPad we donated and thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi. We loved being part of it and can’t wait to see where these students go next!

From Trainee to MPU Operator!

What better way to celebrate International Day of Women in Mining (IDWIM) than by recognising one of our own.

Katrina McWilliams joined us in March 2022 as a blasting trainee, eager to learn and make a difference. From the start, she’s taken on every challenge — mastering new equipment, supporting her crew on night shifts, and always stepping up when needed.

Now, after 3 years of hard work, determination, and a constant drive to improve, Katrina has officially been signed off as an MPU Operator. Her journey is a testament to her grit, team-first attitude, and willingness to tackle any challenge.

At Platinum Blasting Services, we love supporting and training women in the industry, and Katrina’s success is proof of what’s possible with the right opportunities and a great team behind you.

We’re looking forward to seeing the bright future ahead for Katrina — and for many more women following in her footsteps!
