AN OVERVIEW OF BORD AND PILLAR MINING METHOD

The significance of mining to human civilization is undeniable. Mining, being one of the earliest human endeavors, and its evolution are inextricably linked to cultural advancement. Mining is the cradle of all other businesses. Different strategies have been approached for mining effectiveness while keeping output and safety in mind. The Bord and Pillar method of mining is one among them. One of the earliest methods of mining is the Bord and Pillar method. The most important aspect of successful Bord and Pillar mining is choosing the right pillar size. The mine will collapse if the pillars are too small. If the pillars are excessively huge, significant amounts of precious material will be lost. Now-a-days, difficulties connected to pillar stability and effective extraction from it is a serious concern. The safety factor is the most critical criterion to consider while building a pillar. The major goal of this present work is to raise the extraction ratio of Bord and Pillar workings while maintaining a high level of safety.
