Many Canadian underground mines use longitudinal and transverse stoping with delayed backfill to extract tabular ore deposits. These methods require access to the orebody through a number of sill drives or cross-cuts which link the orezone to the haulage drift hence creating intersections on multiple levels. This study is the first to attempt stochastic methods with numerical analysis to mine developments for the purpose of evaluating their stability performance with respect to planned mining sequence. Consequently, a qualitative method is developed to estimate the risk level (e.g. rating and...
