Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors propose methods and means to monitor deformation and subsidence of ore crown under mining of open-pit bottom reserves by room-and-pillar system with cemented backfill in Mir Mine, ALROSA. The article describes layout and data of geomechanical monitoring. The mechanism of ore subsidence at the lower boundary of the safety pillar is determined.
