A method is proposed for mining thick and flat ore deposits at great depths in conditions of a decline in the value of extracted mineral raw materials. It is found that safe mining with solidifying backfill and caving is achieved by determining the parameters of stable spans of rooms, in place of which artificial supports and temporary ore pillars are formed. These pillars are recovered with a lag behind room-and-pillar mining by caving of ore and enclosing rocks. It is shown that, depending on the type of geomechanical model of geomedium and orientation of the initial natural stresses acting in the rock mass relative to the mining front, the field of application of the mining system is limited by the depth and parameters of excavation. Predictive areas of possible rock failure are determined applicably to rock masses with different degree of disturbance.
