Pajingo's long-established methods of mining have been Narrow-Vein stoping and modified (bottom up) Avoca. Alternate methods of mining are being investigated for viability of production. A method of Modified Sub-Level Shrinkage (MSLS) consisted of incorporating traditional Sub-Level Caving methods into previously mined and backfilled zones.

9.3.2: Shrinkage Stoping. Shrinkage stoping is a vertical stoping method, conducted in a vertical or near-vertical plane, and at an angle greater than the angle of repose of the broken ore. A defining characteristic of shrinkage stoping is that most of the blasted (broken) ore remains in the stope to support the hanging wall and footwall. However, when ore is broken, for example by …

Cost of Stoping for Underground Mining. In figure 119, direct stoping costs are plotted against approximate vein or stoping widths, in feet, for a number of mines employing, respectively, open stoping, shrinkage stoping, and cut-and-fill stoping, and thus indicate the effect of width upon direct stoping cost per ton of ore.

Introduction. South Africa is famous for gold, with paleoplacer deposits of the Witwatersrand Basin having produced a large fraction of the world's gold. The country's first gold mines, however, were established 130 years ago in the Sabie-Pilgrims Rest Goldfield and produced gold from an entirely different type of deposit.
