This report presents a summary of the work done by LTU in the 7:th frame work project I2mine, subtask 2.1.1 (Innovative Technologies and Concepts for the Intelligent Deep Mine of the Future, subtask 2.1.1 Development of innovative mining methods and processes for deep steeply dipping deposits).The main objective of the research presented in this report is to develop potential new mining methods or alter/modify already existing mining methods for mining of deep steeply dipping large hard rock ore bodies, and to develop mining methods which are safe, rational, and with a minimum of operational losses. Focus is on large scale underground hard rock mining methods and cut and fill and stoping methods.The processes are developed with focus on three issues: Safe mining, Green Mining and high productivity.
