Square-set stoping is a flexible method; it can be accommodated to very irregular ore bodies, large or small, and permits following and mining offshoots of ore with minimum dilution and loss of ore. Waste can be sorted out and left in the gob. The method can be adapted where sudden changes in dip of the deposit occur and to following ...

This course refers to the generic mining method of sublevel stoping. The most commonly used sublevel stoping mining methods are sublevel open stoping, long-hole open stoping or blasthole stoping, and vertical crater retreat (VCR). Variations of this method include vein (Alimak) mining, transverse stoping, Avoca and longitudinal …

Thus, the shrinkage stoping mining method belongs to the open stoping mining method. According to the mining thickness of deposit, this method is classified into ultrathin vein type (the ore body thickness is less than 1 m, Fig. 1) and thin vein type (the ore body thickness is 1–5 m, Fig. 2). The stope is distributed along the strike, with a ...

Blasting mats may be used to suppress sound and dust, prevent rock fly and to help direct and contain the dust. However, in underground mining, blast mats are not used as it is not necessary to suppress sound and rock can fly freely.

After the ore pillar extracting is completed, high-strength cemented backfill is carried out, and then the mining room is stopped. After extracting, the goaf is filled in time (Fig. 1). Stage open stoping with subsequent backfill can be divided into horizontal deep hole mining and vertical deep hole mining according to different mining methods.

as mining nears completion, to allow the natural collapse of the roof. Sublevel Stoping Sublevel stoping is a mining method in which ore is blasted from different levels of elevation but is removed from one level at the bottom of the mine. Before mining begins, an ore pass is usually drilled from a lower to a higher elevation.
