METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MINING

The invention discloses a method for mining narrow vein deposit of ore. The narrow vein deposit having a hanging wall and a foot wall, the method comprising: drilling a pilot hole into the narrow vein deposit along a path substantially centrally between the hanging wall and the foot wall to a depth within the vein; following the pilot hole with a larger diameter drilling assembly to fragment the ore into drill cuttings; circulating the drill cuttings to a wellhead; and collecting the drill cuttings for processing to recover the ore therefrom. 一种用于开采矿石的窄矿脉矿床的方法，所述窄矿脉矿床具有上盘和下盘，所述方法包括：沿着上盘和上盘之间的大致中心的路径，将导向孔钻凿到所述窄矿脉矿床中至矿脉内的一深度；使用更大直径的钻井组件跟随所述导向孔以将矿石破碎成钻屑；将钻屑循环到井口；以及收集钻屑进行加工以回收其中的矿石。
