Drill and Blast (D & B) is one of the main operations in the mining production cycle， which aims to fragment rock according to a pre-defined plan for proper loading， haulage and processing specifications。 In this sense， data from a Brazilian iron ore mine was analyzed， given emphasis on blasthole length， subdrilling and stemming。 The D & B report， including mining data such as number of blastholes， length， and diameter and stemming aspects， was analyzed in order to be able to compare these results with the blast design。 The study showed significant differences between the designed blasting pattern and that one obtained by the operation。 As a consequence， problems such as inadequate fragmentation， incorrect size distribution and loss of energy， were identified。 For example， when stemming has a different length than it should have， noise and flyrock can occur， including inadequate fragmentation and vibration in both situations。 Therefore， a comparison between the usual D & B procedures and recommended D & B design based on literature reveals the most important deviations and their consequences。 The study intends to identify solutions for simple problems， improving D & B operations and safety practices。
