Shaft Mining Encyclopedia MDPI
Shaft mining or shaft sinking is excavating a vertical or near-vertical tunnel from the top down, where there is initially no access to the bottom. Shallow shafts, typically sunk for civil engineering projects differ greatly in execution method from deep shafts, typically sunk for mining projects. When the top of the excavation is the ground surface, it is referred to as production and closed many shafts in the process. At present (1998) new strategies in this industry seem to be tending towards developing shallow, open cast mines outside South have been developed over many years in the deep mines in South Africa. In essence most methods relate to or are a result of the very high water pressures Mining Grouting in South African Deep Mines IMWA
