The underground mining methods we use include room and pillar, narrow vein stoping and large-scale mechanised mining. Room and pillar mining is a style of mining where tunnels are driven in a chess board pattern with massive square pillars between them .

organized industries—mining has an ancient and venerable history (Gregory, 1980). To understand modern mining practices,it is useful to trace the evolution of mining technology,which(as pointed out earlier in this chapter) has paralleled human evolution and the advance of civilization.

Technologies that include chemical, biological, electrochemical and photochemical methods have been developed to remove cyanide and cyanide compounds to below the regulated limits in wastewaters. This paper discusses commercially available and emerging methods for removing cyanide from waste streams, particularly from tailings and tailings reclaim waters that are generated in the gold mining ...
