Abstract: In view of the adverse conditions in Minxian Tianhao gold company, such as extremely broken and thin ore-body, low grade, high filling costs, disallowed surface collapse etc.and based on the field investigation and mechanical testing, the tunnel-type upward continuous mining with waste rock filling along the strike is obtained, which is appropriate to the ore-body.This mining method has basic features of non-explosive, continuous shipment of broken rocks, drift upward filling with waste rocks, small cutting, high level of mechanization and safety mining.In practical engineering application, the mining rate reaches 90% with dilution rate of 8%.

Key words: Non-explosive mining, Continuous mining, Tunnel type upward filling by rock mining method
