· To exploit the deepseated ore bodies, the mining method transitioned from openpit mining to underground mining. The five horizontal mine roadways at elevations of −123, −213, −303, −321 and −501 m were excavated, as shown in figure 10. Changes in the groundwater head after roadway excavation were simulated in the calibrated model.
