L'abattage mécanique, par une machine qui disloque le massif rocheux, est mis en œuvre chaque fois que le matériau à abattre est suffisamment tendre (ou fragile) et homogène pour se laisser débiter de façon continue. La machine d'abattage (haveuse, rabot, mineur continu, ripper, brise-roche hydraulique, etc.) fonctionne par passes successives et effectue généralement le chargement de produits en même temps. 2, record 1, French, - abattage%20au%20toit

Le magma granitique ferait peu à peu sa place dans l'écorce par la chute continuelle de blocs de son toit (xénolites) au sein du bain fondu et par la dissolution de ceux-ci dans la profondeur du bain. C'est la théorie de l'«overhead stoping» de R.A. Daly. 3, record 2, French, - abattage%20du%20toit%20de%20la%20chambre
