Box Cut Mining Techniques, Underground Mining, Mining ...
Box cut (mining) is a cutting technique. In general, this cut is downcast adequately until, rock not worn by exposure to the weather is found in order to permit the progress of the decline. This type of cut is created to provide a secure and safe portal as way in to a decline to an underground mine.

Mining Funda: Cut and Fill Stoping
Cut and Fill Stoping. Cut and fill stoping is a method of underground mining used in vertical stopes and in mining high-grade irregular ore bodies. The rock mass surrounding the ore deposit is also usually weak unable to support loads over an extended stoping height. As the name of the method implies, successive cutting of the ore into ...

Underhand cut and fill - QueensMineDesignWiki
Geological Setting. Underhand cut and fill is a versatile mining method; it can be used in orebodies of varying widths and dips, from vertically dipping to flat lying.It is most useful in ore where the wall rock or vein is unconsolidated and cannot be safely mined using traditional cut and fill.Underhand cut and fill has been particularly successful in rockburst-prone areas.

Longwall mining - Wikipedia
Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 0.6–1.0 m (2 ft 0 in–3 ft 3 in) thick). The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3–4 km (1.9–2.5 mi) long and 250–400 m (820–1,310 ft) wide.
