Abstract
Basic issues to be considered in the development of a mine layout include the location and design of the access and service openings, and the definition of stoping procedures for ore extraction. These issues are not mutually independent. However, geomechanics questions concerning stoping activity may be more pervasive than those related to the siting and design of permanent openings, since the former persist throughout the life of the mine, and possibly after the completion of mining.
