Presplit blasting used in surface coal mines is different from that of other openpit mines. The best presplit results will be achieved from the surface coal mines with horizontal coal seams or having remarkable weakness plane in the contact position of coal and rock, as long as explosive charge is concentrated at the bottom of hole .

Blast mining is a minigame, which grants Mining and Firemaking experience. Participating in the minigame requires favour with the Lovakengj House. Blast mining requires dynamite, which is made from volcanic sulphur, juniper charcoal, saltpetre, and a pot, then adding a ball of wool to the resulting dynamite pot.
