Sublevel stoping is a mining technique used to extract ore from underground deposits. In this method, horizontal tunnels, or sublevels, are created at regular intervals within the ore body. Miners then remove the ore in a series of steps, allowing for efficient extraction while minimizing waste. This technique is particularly effective for steeply dipping ore bodies, as it allows for controlled blasting and the use of gravity to assist in ore movement. Sublevel stoping can enhance safety and productivity, making it a popular choice in modern mining operations.
