A » Room and pillar mining is an underground mining technique where a series of horizontal tunnels, or "rooms," are cut into a deposit, leaving behind pillars of untouched material to support the roof. Typically used for flat deposits, this method maximizes ore extraction while maintaining structural stability. The size and spacing of the pillars are crucial and are determined based on the geology of the area and the material being mined.
