METHOD TO DEVELOP EDGE ORE BODIES WITH UNSTABLE ORES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E21C41/22 E21F15/00 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mining industry and may be used in development of thick edge ore bodies with unstable ores, for instance, kimberlite pipes, by the underground method. The method includes division of a deposit into panels and layers with their extraction in stopes in descending order and subsequent filling with hardening mixtures, parameters of layer stoping are increased along height and width to chamber dimensions, and along the length they are divided into sections, besides, chamber stopes and sections in the vertical-longitudinal section are given the shape of the isosceles trapezoid. Then their mining is carried out in stages so that during mining of each subsequent section the level of the haulage horizon is reduced by the height of the sectional haulage mine, for this purpose, initially, in the chamber-stop roof for all of its sections they arrange a common drilling-filling mine, and the sectional haulage mine, for each subsequent section, is mined under the filling massif of the earlier mined section, besides, after complete mining of the previous section its haulage mine in the reverse order is expanded to the width of the previously filled section, at the same time the direction of mining of chambers-stopes on each subsequent underlying layer is changed for the opposite one.

EFFECT: increased intensity of deposit mining in case of unstable ores, due to provision of stability of ore walls of stope entries during the whole period of performance of stoping works and exclusion of breaks in a filling massif, and also improved conditions for ventilation of mines.
