Underground limestone mining is commonly used when a specific rock layer is desired or in areas where there is thick material overlying the desired rock (Mengistu et al., 2000). Conversely, surface limestone mining involves removal of limestone "rooms" leaving regularly spaced "pillars" in place to support the overlying roof.
