[QUOTE="dwt, post: 147265, member: 428"] If I had my normal computer (scotch induced dilemma) I would draw you a pic mate, but in a nut shell, You put your drive levels with a certain amount of spacing in between them, this is usually governed by geo techs and engineers, let's say for arguments sake that '1' level is at Sea level, or referred to in some mines as 5000 level, then 2 level would be at 4900 level, if you had mined a hundred meters below one level and ran your drive in there, the drives are not directly above each other but are on a angle that follows the ore body you are chasing, so if you were standing at the 4900 level looking directly North, the 5000 level would be NNW at 100 meters above you, when you 'stope' you drill in the ore body up to the next level, keeping your drill pattern nice and tight as to avoid over break and diluting your ore, stope shots are taken in panels (anywhere from 5-15plus meters in length) once you have 'bogged' the stope shot ore dirt out you then come in from the 5000 level and tip waste dirt or CRF (cement reinforcing) down to the 4900 level then continue the process until the level close out shot is taken :) [/QUOTE]
