[This block] is then undercut by removing a slice of ore or a series of slices separated by small pillars underneath the block. The isolated, unsupported block of ore breaks and caves under its own weight. The broken ore is drawn off from below, and as the caved mass moves downward, due to continued drawing of broken ore from below, it is broken further by pressure and attrition. The overlying capping caves and follows the broken ore downward. 5, record 2, English, - block%20caving

Variante de la méthode d'exploitation par foudroyage. L'amas de minerai est découpé en blocs de dimensions importantes. Le minerai se désagrège spontanément par foudroyage et descend en masses. Le soutirage se fait dans un réseau d'entonnoirs ménagés à la base du bloc. 2, record 2, French, - foudroyage%20par%20blocs
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le foudroyage par blocs [...] consiste à sous-caver un bloc de minerai de plusieurs dizaines de mètres de hauteur pour provoquer son foudroyage. [...] La base du bloc est découpée en entonnoirs, au-dessus des cheminées de soutirage qui permettent au minerai foudroyé de descendre par gravité dans les niveaux de raclage horizontaux. Le foudroyage est amorcé par le dépilage d'une tranche de minerai à la base du bloc et progresse dans la masse du minerai, puis dans les terrains stériles de recouvrement. 1, record 2, French, - foudroyage%20par%20blocs

La méthode des chambres-magasins consiste à abattre le minerai en montant au-dessus de la galerie de base et à laisser les produits abattus sur place, de sorte que les ouvriers travaillent sur le minerai abattu et forent les trous de mine dans le minerai en place au-dessus d'eux. En raison du foisonnement, le minerai abattu occupe un volume plus grand; aussi faut-il en soutirer une partie, afin de garder la hauteur libre pour le travail au chantier. Lorsque la chambre est arrivée à sa limite de progression, il ne reste plus qu'à la vider en soutirant le minerai par la galerie de base; elle reste vide ou s'éboule plus tard. 9, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%26rsquo%3Babattage%20par%20chambres%2Dmagasins

Dans le cas d'un chantier d'exploitation à retrait («shrinkage stoping»), le minerai est également exploité par gradins renversés («overhand stoping»). Toutefois, la quantité de minerai dégagée du chantier doit être exclusivement suffisante pour permettre aux mineurs de travailler alors qu'il se tiennent sur l'amas de minerai précédemment abattu et forent les trous dans le toit du chantier. 8, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%26rsquo%3Babattage%20par%20chambres%2Dmagasins
