#0183;#32;Stopeandpillar mining (a stope is a production opening in a metal mine) is a similar method used in noncoal mines where thicker, more irregular ore bodies occur; the pillars are spaced randomly and located in lowgrade ore so that the highgrade ore can be extracted.
Stope and Retreat Stope and Fill Using this method, mining is planned to extract rock from the stopes without filling the voids; this allows the wall rocks to cave in to the extracted stope after all the ore has been removed. The stope is then sealed to prevent access. Where large bulk ore bodies are to be mined at great depth, or where leaving pillars of ore is uneconomical, the open stope is
Pillar mining in trial stope: (a) S19; (b) S20; and (c) S22. The mining process is indeed differentiated from other openstoping methods, in that the support rock typically extends from hanging wall to footwall in the form of pillars.
An advantageous aspect of this type of sequencing pattern is that primary stopes are more stable as they must be filled to provide support to the residual crown pillars and stopes. The main disadvantage is that a large portion of the ore is left within the tertiary stopes of which the stope design can be complex as it is a function of existing development and infrastructure [2] .

Stope And Pillar Mining. pillar thickness will increase crown pillar stability yet reduce mining recovery because part of crown pillar is formed by ore bodyPreventing . stope failure is the key to maintain stability and optimie recovery of crown pillar.
#0183;#32;The design of pillars in cutandfill mining and open stoping in vertical and subvertical orebodies is of vital importance in optimizing mining operations. The primary requirement for a good and reliable design technique is the ability to represent the actual physical behaviour of the pillar. In this paper, a new methodology for stope roof and sill pillar design is proposed for the Zinkgruvan
surrounding stopes, pillars and adjacent excavations. The assessment uses several empirical methodologies such as the stability graph (Mathews et al. 1980), critical span determination (Lang et al. 1991) and ERF (Milne et al. 1996), to determine the stability of the proposed stopes based upon the proposed mining sequence.
Background. Room and pillar is one of the oldest existing mining methods, dating back over 1000 years. In its early use, detailed stope planning was very uncommon and mine operators would typically follow apparent high grade areas, leaving pillars only when necessary to stabilize openings.
#0183;#32;1. Introduction. In most mines involved with resource integration, coal resources are sterilized where pillar mining is employed in small coal mines,, .According to statistics, the recovery rate of coal resources in working faces in pillar mining is less than 30%, especially in thick seams .With an improvement of mining equipment, coal mines enter the mass production stage and coal

Room and pillar (variant of breast stoping), is a mining system in which the mined material is extracted across a horizontal plane, creating horizontal arrays of rooms and pillars. To do this, quot;roomsquot; of ore are dug out while quot;pillarsquot; of untouched material are left to support the roof the size, shape, and position of pillars is a complicated procedure, and is an area of
mining and its development correlate closely with cultural progress. Mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials. One of such methods is the Bord and Pillar method of mining. Bord and Pillar method of mining is one of the oldest methods of mining.
#0183;#32;Roomandpillar mining is used to recover ore in open stopes. It leaves pillars to support the hanging wall; miners aim to leave the smallest possible pillars to recover the maximum amount of ore. Minerals contained in the pillars are nonrecoverable and are therefore not included in the ore reserves of the mine.
pillar mining is thus considered as a supplement to conventional mining, which accounts for the majority of current mining operations on Amandelbult. Bordandpillar mining is applicable to horizontal to flat dipping thin tabular orebodies where the surrounding hangingwall and the ore itself are
The design of open stope rib pillars has been done using many empirical methods, but none of the methods has been verified with a design survey. This thesis uses data collected in the quot;Integrated Mine Design Studyquot; to develop an empirical rib pillar design method for open, stope mining. The method is called the quot;pillar stability graphquot;. The design variables in the method are: the compressive
