Stoping in originally high stress environment has led to detachment and subsidence of remaining oreblocks along schistosity surfaces of the immediate wall rock, while high-stress related seismicity has moved further from the actual mining area. Also presented is history of numerical stress modelling and its correspondence to the observed rock mass behaviour. Finally, adjustments made to mine planning, production and ground monitoring are described. date: 2014 date_type: published volume: 7 publisher: Australian Centre for Geomechanics place_of_pub: Perth pagerange: 209-224 isbn: 978-0-9870937-9-0 book_title: Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Deep and High Stress Mining editors_name: Hudyma, M. editors_name: Potvin, Y. official_url: https://papers.acg.uwa.edu.au/p/1410_12_Bergstrom/ access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Bergstrom, Pekka and Sahala, Katja and Hakala, Matti (2014) From high stress to de-stressed – mining in changing conditions.
