Abstract

The stope S-144 as a system of exploitation it
is applied and is applying the method of exploitation with filling from bottom
upwards where for access to the stope respectively in benches has applied so
called classical method with vertical objects (passage for people). In bench 5
has been changed the working principle being applied the approach in the stope
by ramp method where it is changed the principle of drilling and loading
(application of high productivity machines – Boomer and diesel mechanic loaders
Toro and Wagner). The above mentioned stope for now possesses these mining
facilities: 1) horizontal adit that connects the ramp; 2) shaft for filling of
mining area where at the same time it is like air shaft, and; 3) passages for
people where the one of them has already been out of operation while the other
one serves as the pit for ore haulage of this stope. The current state of the
shaft (raise) ventilation for the moment is considered as a sensitive and has
great curves during the working phase encountering in soft rocks (schist) thus
it made impossible the opening of vertical shaft where we concluded that there
do not appear the major resistance and loss of the amount of air.
