study on high level longhole mining metod and equipment" was one of the key projects to be tackled in science and technology during China's Seventh Five Year Plan period.Taking Fankou Lead-Zinc Mine for example, the geological conditions, and improvement on stope structure, blasthole patterns and blast technology, in the experiment stope using high level longhole mining method, were introduced in detail, along with the experiment results. The advantages of this mining method were pointed out, which could be useful to similar mines.
