Written in English
Rockbusts associated with the formation of fractures at stope faces were studied in South African gold mines. A description of the types of fractures and their behaviour was given.

Used a lot by South African gold mining companies, this method can be used in both soft and hard rocks as the working area along the mining face can be supported artificially in places where the hanging wall shows a tendency to collapse. Longwall mining helps to extract ore along a straight front with a large longitudinal extension. Reaching extreme depths of two miles or more beneath the surface, mine safety incidents and related stoppages have plagued South African miners, with Gold Fields (NYSE:GFI) reporting another.
Abstract: A multi-disciplinary study of the response of the rock mass to mining and mining-induced earthquakes has been conducted in six gold mines in South Africa at sites deeper than 3 km, or with equivalent stress. More than 80 holes (with a total length of more than km) were drilled in earthquake-prone areas to locate faults and install : H Ogasawara, M Nakatani, RJ Durrheim, M Naoi, Y Yabe, H Moriya, GF Hofmann, C Stander, DP Roberts, P. With few new gold strikes around the world that can be turned into profitable mines, South Africa's gold miners are planning to dig deeper than ever before to get access to rich veins.
In , the English prospector J.H. Davis discovered the first gold in the Witwatersrand, leading to the South African gold rush and the discovery of much more gold deposits within the basin. South African Gold Miner Sued Over Mounting Fatalities J J Sibanye “accounts for nearly half of the 46 people reported killed at South African mines in and is already the subject of an investigation by the chief inspector of mines,” Bloomberg reported, as quoted in the complaint. Sibanye is the largest.

in South African gold mines and the use of these characteristics in the prediction of rock falls by H. Gumede*,and T.R. Stacey* Synopsis The occurrence of fracturing due to high stress levels is a major factor in hangingwall stability in deep level gold mine stopes.
However, rock falls cannot be the result of these fractures alone. It has been well substantiated that for the most part the rock behaves as a continuous elastic mass. Thus, for these mining configurations at depth, large stress concentrations exist ahead of the stope with the consequence that the rock inevitably fractures.
