Underground mining poses many risks and challenges in maintaining mine shafts and saving lives.
To ensure safety of miners, timbering of mine shafts is one practice that is highly recommended.
The proper timbering of mines is a matter of great importance in their management. When the rock is soft and liable to inward crushing, the side timbers require to be kept apart by pieces laid across from above and below.
Shaft mining is a form of underground mining where shafts are pushed vertically from top to bottom to excavate the ores and minerals. It is also called shaft sinking. It is best suited for minerals which can be found at the depth of the earth’s surface. It is found mostly all over the world.
Shaft sinking refers to shallow shafts and it is different from a deep shaft. The former is sunk for the civil engineering projects and the latter is sunk for the mining projects.
The shaft is either inclined or vertical. However, most modern shafts are vertical. Shaft sinking is one of the dangerous forms of mining and involves a lot of risk.
