Overhand stoping is used with cut-and-fill, with both dry rock and hydraulic sand as backfill material. Overhand means that the ore is drilled from below by blasting a slice 3.0 m to 4.0 m thick. This allows the complete stope area to be drilled and the blasting of the full stope without interruptions. The "upper" holes are drilled with simple wagon drills. 5, record 1, English, - overhand%20stoping
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In a restricted way overhand stoping can be applied to open or waste-filled stopes that are excavated in a series of horizontal slices either sequentially or simultaneously from the bottom of a block to its top. 4, record 1, English, - overhand%20stoping

En général, la mise en œuvre d’un chantier souterrain d’exploitation («stope») implique comme procédé d’avancement les mêmes travaux de perforation, d’explosion, etc., que dans le creusement des galeries.

Il se compose de bacs lourds en tôle, placés bout à bout; des barres d’acier sont fixées sur deux chaînes sans fin latérales actionnées par le tourteau d’une tête motrice; ces barres métalliques ou raclettes poussent le minerai sur le fond des bacs; le retour des chaînes et des barres se fait sous le fond des bacs; les rebords latéraux des bacs, qui servent de guide aux chaînes, sont suffisamment robustes pour qu'une machine d’abattage puisse prendre appui dessus. Cette robustesse fait utiliser le convoyeur blindé dans les longues tailles, où il dessert le front sur toute sa longueur, recevant directement les blocs abattus par la machine(haveuse ou rabot). Pour suivre l'avancement du front de taille, on le pousse contre le front, sans avoir à le démonter. 4, record 9, French, - convoyeur%20blind%C3%A9

Abattage à front en chantier. La méthode utilisée dans l'exploitation d’un gisement relativement peu épais(12" au plus) et de faible inclinaison consiste à perforer comme dans les galeries et à faire exploser avec front d’attaque en avancement continu. Selon l'épaisseur du gisement, il peut y avoir plusieurs fronts d’attaque simultanés disposés en gradins(«benches») offrant deux faces ouvertes, ce qui facilite la fragmentation des terrains. Cette méthode par front d’avancement(«breast stoping») s’applique selon qu'il y a nécessité ou avantage d’exploiter en une série de fronts d’attaque sur gradins. 1, record 10, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20par%20front%20d%26rsquo%3Bavancement
