LHDs were used for ore removal from stope in large-diameter longhole min-ing in Anqing copper mine. Originally, the bottom structure of stope was designed as sin-gle-side ore removal drift which made the LHD travel unconvenient and ore-removal effi-ciency low. Therefore, the single-side ore removal drift has been changed into dual-drift slructure. In this way, the ore removal from stope can be conducted on the two sides, with a greater efficiency of ore removal.
