A Modified sequential grid layout to increase production rates in deep level hard rock mines

Scattered mining was practised on Kusasalethu Mine (previously Elandsrand Gold Mine) prior to 1998, but as mining proceeded deeper, it was no longer a feasible option. The scattered mining method would have resulted in unacceptably high stress levels and energy release rates on the active mining fac...
