In China,all of the gold veins are the mesothermal deposit with altered rock in a crushed zones and the hypothermal deposit with quartz vein, which are complicated and varied in configuration, small sizes in occurrence and poor in stability of ore and rock. The main mining methods used at present are shrinkage (42.58%) , open stoping (25.86%) , and backfilling (31.46%) . In the past 40 years, the mining technology with the local conditions was creatively developed and innovated in China's gold mines. For example, the development and application of shrinkage stoping with full face,hydraulic filling technology, trackless equipment, roof-bolting technique, large diameter longhole mining with high efficiency etc. have made the mining technology for gold mines to be innovated. However, there exist the problems on high loss and dilution of ore, low capacity in stope, long mining cycle, high labour intensity, low mining strength, poor mechanization and unbalanced in the development of mining technology etc. In the future, the efforts to research and deploy the mining methods, modify and perfect the roof support techniques and improve the mechanization should be made in the mining of gold deposits.
