    Room and pillar mining involves excavating rooms underground within a deposit and leaving pillars of untouched material to support the roof. It is suitable for deposits that are tabular in shape, of thin to moderate thickness, large in extent, at low gradients, and with weak to moderately strong ore and rock. The method involves developing main haulage roads, dividing the mine into panels, developing panel roads, forming pillars by excavating rooms, and eventually extracting the pillars. Pillar extraction techniques depend on the strength of the roof rock.
