Abstract
The present invention relates to a Raise Caving mining method for mining ore from an ore body comprising developing at least two slots (3a, 3b) in a rock mass and leaving a pillar (9a) of rock mass to separate adjacent slots (3a, 3b) in order to create a favourable stress environment in the rock mass to provide protection for mining infrastructure, developing at least one production raise (6a) within the rock mass providing the favourable stress environment, mining by progressing upwards at least one production stope (13a) from the at least one production raise (6a), and drawing ore from the production stope (13a). The present invention also relates to a Raise Caving mining infrastructure, a machinery, a monitoring system, an automatic or semi-automatic control system of a Raise Caving mining infrastructure, and a data medium.
