What is underground mining?
Mining methods
Room and pillar mining method
Room and pillar is a common mining method mining ore bodies with a dip less than 50 degrees. There are different variations of the method, depending on rock conditions and the dip and thickness of the ore body.
Sublevel stoping mining method
Sublevel stoping is a commonly used method in large-scale mining. It is a versatile and productive method that is primarily used for large ore bodies with a steep dip, regular shape and defined ore boundaries.
Cut and fill mining method
Cut and fill mining is a favorite choice for steeply dipping and sometimes irregular ore bodies, and preferred by mines that require the capability of selective mining and adaptaility to variations in the rock mass. It is generally referred to as a small scale mining method.
Sublevel caving mining method
Sublevel caving is a large scale mining method, suitable for large ore bodies with a steep dip and a rock mass where the host rock in the hanging wall will fracture under controlled conditions.
Block caving mining method
Block caving is a large-scale mining method that allows for huge volumes of rock to be extracted efficiently.
