Tonkuangyu Copper mine sets up a set of simple and convenient monitoring system of orebody caving state in the mine stope to use block caving method.

The characteristics and fundamentals of ore drawing control in block caving method are described and computer-based production scheduling for this mining method is studied in the paper.

According to the theory and method of particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D), the block caving law of natural caving mining method was investigated.
