Crown Pillar Optimization for Surface to Underground Mine
A crown pillar is to be designed in the transition region from surface to underground operations. Crown pillar dimensioning effects the overall ore recovery in such smallscale ore bodies. Proper dimensioning has to ensure the stability of open pit mine slopes and underground mine structural units as underground mining progresses to upper levels.

Evaluation of Crown Pillar Burst Potential in CutandFill
Straintype rockbursts, or strainbursts, are characterised by a localised violent failure. Their cause is attributed primarily to the sudden release of strain energy, which accumulates in a volume of highly stressed rock as a result of mining activities. Examples of such phenomena are crown/sill pillar bursts created in the mining process, pillar crush in roomandpillar

The open stope mining method is the most common underground extractive technique used in Australian metalliferous mines. The crown pillar as it stands in the vertical plane between two open stopes is an integral part of the global stability of an underground metal mine. The stability of crown pillars are significantly affected by the mechanical and physical properties of the rock mass
