| Abstract | (Summary)
A survey of underground mines in Canada has been made to determine the nature and extent of orebodies, mining techniques, and physical properties of rocks. The response to the survey
was good in that 85 7e of the mines participated. The results are stored on tape, and a computer program has been written to search for particular mine characteristics. The results show that Canadian underground mining is over a wide range of depths
(to 8000 ft), generally in steeply dipping orebodies and in a wide variety of rock types and conditions. Cut-and-fill is the commonest mining method, although all techniques are used. The variability of mining conditions requires careful planning and
development to establish the optimum mining methods and equipment. |
