Abstract: Diantan Shuicheng fluorite Mine with the capacity of 40 000 t/a is a small mine，and it is opened up by tunnels. Due to the fractured rocks and poor stability，some security accidents such as roof falling，caving and landslide always appear in the mining process. The mine is exploited by the slicing and caving stoping method. Through the tests，various technical parameters by this stoping method during exploitation of V₁ ore body in Diantan Shuicheng fluorite ore are found out，including structural parameters，ore-body layout and applicable conditions etc.. Therefore，the slicing and caving stoping method fully suits for the recovery of Diantan Shuicheng fluorite ore Ⅴ₁ ore-body.x

Key words: Fluorite ore, Slicing and caving method, Rock fracture, Stoping process
