An Interactive Blueprint
Walk Through a Working Almin Quarry
Seven stops. One working section — from the workshop gate to the no-blast zone. Scroll to travel the bench, open each station to see how we work, and yes: you get to fire the blast.
Scroll to begin the tourEvery tour starts where every Almin project starts: 92 Dawes Street, Rustenburg. Head office runs procurement, logistics and administration, while our own maintenance workshop keeps the Junjin fleet on preventative schedules — high availability, no waiting on third parties.

Before a rig moves, the block is measured, modelled and costed. Survey data feeds BlastCalc Pro — our in-house planning platform — where burden, spacing, charging and powder factor are simulated per block and every estimate is price-gated before a proposal goes out.

The Junjin JD1400E collars each hole to the planned pattern with tight control of depth, angle and diameter — up to 140 mm. Tighter burden and spacing mean better fragmentation, more efficient explosives use and lower vibration.
- Hole diameterUp to 140 mm
- Pattern shownB 3.5 m × S 4.0 m
- Mined safely7.64M+ m³ by FY2024
Holes charged, harness checked, exclusion zone cleared, siren sounded. This is the moment all the planning pays off — controlled energy, exactly where the design put it.
You're the blaster now. The zone is clear and the seismograph at Stop 6 is recording. When you're ready:
Real blasts are fired only by licensed, competent persons under strict protocols — this one is safely virtual.
Civil Drilling & BlastingWhere ground can't be trusted, we consolidate it: pressure grouting fills voids from within, while soil nails, shotcrete and geosynthetics reinforce slopes and high walls — one contractor, the complete stabilisation toolkit.

Every blast is measured, not guessed. Calibrated seismographs capture ground vibration and air blast at the nearest receptors — the village you can see from here — and every event becomes a defensible compliance report.

- ReportingPer-blast, audit-ready
End of the line — literally. Where structures, utilities or heritage rule out explosives, expansive agents split the rock silently: drill, fill, and let chemistry crack it apart. No vibration, no flyrock, no drama.

The Tour, Stop by Stop
The full interactive tour runs on larger screens — here's the same journey in seven stops.
Head Office & Workshop
Procurement, logistics and administration run from Rustenburg — alongside our own maintenance workshop that keeps the Junjin fleet on preventative schedules.
About Almin ProjectsSurvey & Blast Planning
Survey data feeds BlastCalc Pro, our in-house platform, where every pattern is simulated and costed — and every estimate price-gated — before work begins.
See BlastCalc ProProduction Drilling
Junjin JD1400E rigs drill the pattern to plan — up to 140 mm diameter — for fragmentation you can load, haul and crush efficiently.
Opencast Drilling & BlastingCharging & Controlled Blasting
Charged under strict protocols, cleared exclusion zones and electronic initiation — controlled energy exactly where the design put it.
Civil Drilling & BlastingGround Consolidation & Grouting
Pressure grouting, soil nails and shotcrete stabilise slopes, high walls and foundations — the complete toolkit from one contractor.
Ground ConsolidationSeismograph Monitoring
Calibrated seismographs measure ground vibration and air blast at the nearest receptors, turning every blast into a defensible compliance report.

Where explosives can't go, expansive agents split rock silently — zero vibration, no flyrock, safe beside structures and utilities.
