A method is provided for preparing gelled slurry explosive compositions characterized as containing separate liquid and particulate phases intimately mixed together. The liquid phase containing a gelling agent is prepared and the gelling agent is cross-linked. This provides a component having extended periods of stability. Prior to the intended use of the explosive the cross-linked gum is broken down, the solid particulate constituents are dispersed in the liquid phase and the gelling agent is recross-linked.
