ABSTRACT:
1. An explosive slurry composition comprising a substantially saturated solution of ammonium nitrate, and suspended solids in said solution to form said slurry, said solids being comprised of at least 50 parts by weight of ammonium nitrate, and not more than 50 parts by weight of finely divided metallic aluminum of character such as to increase the sensitivity of said composition to detonation, the total nitrate comprising at least 50% of the total composition, said composition including water comprising at least 3 percent by weight of the total composition. 2. An ammonium nitrate explosive composition consisting essentially of particulate ammonium nitrate in admixture with an aqueous solution saturated with respect to ammonium nitrate, and with up to 35 per cent by weight of an inorganic sensitizer which taken alone is a stable solid at a temperature of at least 100.degree.C., the amount of water being from 3 to 25 per cent by weight of the total composition. 3. The aqueous ammonium nitrate explosive composition as in Claim 2 in which the inorganic sensitizer is a particulated light metal selected from the group consisting of magnesium, magnesium-base alloys, aluminum, aluminum-base alloys and mixtures thereof.
