The document provides parameters and value ranges for calculating a Blastability Index. Parameters include density ratio, discontinuity spacing ratio, point load strength index ratio, and joint plane orientation ratio. Adjustment factors are provided for confinement and hole depth/burden ratios. The Blastability Index ranges from 30-40 to over 70. Corresponding powder factor ranges decrease from 0.7-0.8 kg/m3 to 0.2-0.3 kg/m3 as the Blastability Index increases.
