80% Less Coal Movement. Same Bulk Explosive System.

A recent blast optimization trial at Energy Resources’ surface coal mine in Mongolia demonstrated the power of precision blasting technology. Using Austin Powder’s E*STAR Gold electronic detonators and Paradigm blast design software, the operation achieved a customer-reported 80% reduction in coal movement while maintaining its existing bulk emulsion, ANFO, and drill pattern.

The result? Improved control of coal and overburden movement, reduced dilution and coal-loss risk, and a more uniform muckpile, all without changing the mine’s bulk explosive system.

This project highlights how advanced timing and blast design can deliver measurable improvements in mining performance and operational efficiency.

Our teams in Panama and Costa Rica recently demonstrated their commitment to safety, sustainability, and community impact through meaningful local initiatives.

In Panama, employees completed First Aid, CPR, and AED training, strengthening their ability to respond when every second counts. In Costa Rica, team members supported the Municipality of Esparza’s annual reforestation campaign, planting native trees to help restore local ecosystems during Environment Month.

These efforts reflect our commitment to protecting people, caring for the environment, and making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work.

"Every skill we learn to help another person and every tree we plant are opportunities to make a positive difference in our communities and build a better future."

Investing in People, Strengthening Operations

Intrachem Austin Powder recently partnered with Austin Powder Malaysia to provide advanced training for members of the Kwekwe Plant team, reinforcing our commitment to continuous improvement, safety, and operational excellence.

Through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience, participants gained valuable knowledge in production processes, quality assurance, maintenance best practices, safety management, and environmental compliance. The program also provided exposure to additional manufacturing technologies within the global Austin Powder network.

Beyond the technical learning, the initiative strengthened collaboration and knowledge sharing between teams across regions, helping build capabilities that will support future growth and operational success.

This investment in our people is an investment in safer, more reliable, and more efficient operations.

Advancing Safety Through Automated Manufacturing

The team at Red Diamond, Ohio, successfully commissioned its automated booster production facility. This milestone represents years of development, collaboration, and commitment from teams across the organization.

Designed as an automated, remotely operated process, the new manufacturing system enhances safety by allowing personnel to remain hundreds of feet away during operation while maintaining full process control. The achievement reflects Austin Powder's continued focus on advancing manufacturing capabilities, improving safety, and reducing environmental impact.

"This achievement has brought together teams from across the business around a shared objective," said Evan Hagenlock, Product Manager. "The collaboration that got us here will remain critical as we move toward full commercialization."

Did You Know? Automation is a major part of Austin Powder’s strategy, both in manufacturing and in blasting operations.

Automation is transforming the future of blasting.

Austin Powder is investing in robotics, predictive software, smart MMUs, electronic initiation systems, and automated manufacturing technologies to improve safety, consistency, and operational performance.

By connecting blast design, charging, initiation, and performance data, we're helping customers achieve more predictable and data-driven results.

Decoupling growth from impact

In 2025, Austin Powder expanded absolute production across major product lines while systematically contracting resource and risk intensity — emissions intensity per unit improved by 6%, total water consumption fell by 9%, total waste generation decreased by 7.6%, and TRIR decreased to 1.26. These results reflect targeted operational efficiency, emissions capture at site level, waste redesign and investments in automation and safety systems — concrete actions with measurable outcomes.
