The document discusses two mining methods: the cut and fill method and the room and pillar method. The cut and fill method excavates mineral horizontally in ascending slices, starting from the mine, and is more expensive but safer than the room and pillar method. The room and pillar method excavates as much of the mineral body as possible, leaving pillars to support the roof, and is slower than cut and fill. A survey found that most students believed the cut and fill method is more expensive to implement.

Today we going to talk about of the cut and fill method and room and pillar method. The cut and fill method is more expensive than the room and pillar method. Simple definition. (TAMA) room and pillar method consists of excavating the mineralized body as much as possible, leaving mineral pillars, which support the sterile material roof. (tama) the cut and fiull method consists of excavating the mineral by horizontal slices in a ascending sequence, starting from the mine. (SU)
Comparisons and explanation:
- the cut and fill method is more expensive than the room and pillar, because it explodes the high grade ore first, that's why It's highly selective. (TAMA) -the cut and fill method is safer than room and pillar, because It doesn't generate subsidence it fills automatically when cut. (SU) - the room and pillar method is slower than cut and fill, because in the cut and fill method it is automatically filled with sterile mineral. (TAMA) Survey: According to the survey, this are the results obtained: - the 36.4% of the students say that the room and pillar method is the most expensive, contrasted with the 63.6% of the students who say that the cut and fill is more expensive. ( TAMA ) Conclusion: in conclusion, the cut and fill method allows to explote mineral bodies without problems, which are located parallel and separated by sterile zones. ( TAMA )
