Blasting will be conducted using a blend of emulsion and ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) that will depend on the ground conditions and the moisture in the holes, ensuring sufficient shock energy for fragmentation.
Generally, higher amounts of emulsion are used when less movement is desired.
The blend also heavily depends on the bulk explosives’ supply, logistics, cost and security.
Powder factors are expected to be between 0.3 kg/bcm (bank cubic metre) and 0.9 kg/bcm.

consommation (d'explosif) spécifique
"Powder factor can be expressed as a quantity of rock broken by a unit weight of explosives.
Or, alternatively, it can be the amount of explosives required to break a unit measure of rock [= consommation spécifique]"
https://books.google.fr/books?id=fjwJ2VvX-YEC&pg=PA115&lpg=P...
"Le terme de consommation spécifique désigne le grammage d’explosif que l’on charge dans un trou de mine pour abattre 1 m3 de roche (ou 1 t de roche). La consommation spécifique est donc donnée en g/m 3 (ou en g/t respectivement)."
https://minesparis-psl.hal.science/hal-00595332/document
Since your unit is 'kg/bcm', it's consommation spécifique you're looking at.

Charge spécifique
"La charge spécifique est la quantité d'explosifs nécessaire pour fragmenter un mètre cube (1m3) des matériaux."
