The present disclosure provides a method for mining a material in an underground environment. The method comprises positioning a structure in an underground roadway and locating the structure so that the structure provides a reactive force when a cutting head is pushed against the material via a series of members coupled to the structure. The roadway is suitable for passage of people and transportation of machinery and removed material. The method also comprises coupling the cutting head to at least one of the members of the series of members and the series of members to the structure. Further, the method comprises forming a plurality of branch tunnel portions projecting from the roadway into the material using the cutting head and the series of members coupled to the structure, comprising repositioning the cutting head and the series of members between formation of the branch tunnel portions. At least one of the formed branch tunnel portions has a length of more than 50m.

La présente invention concerne un procédé dexploitation minière dun matériau en environnement souterrain. Le procédé comporte les étapes consistant à positionner une structure dans une galerie souterraine et à placer la structure de telle sorte quelle engendre une force de réaction lorsquune tête de coupe est plaquée contre le matériau via une série dorganes couplés à la structure. La galerie convient au passage de personnes et au transport dengins et de matériau extrait. Le procédé comporte également les étapes consistant à coupler la tête de coupe à au moins un des organes de la série dorganes et la série dorganes à la structure. Le procédé comporte en outre les étapes consistant à former une pluralité de tronçons de tunnel ramifiés sécartant de la galerie et pénétrant dans le matériau à laide de la tête de coupe et de la série dorganes couplés à la structure, ce qui implique le repositionnement de la tête de coupe et de la série dorganes entre les opérations de formation des tronçons de tunnel ramifiés. Au moins un des tronçons de tunnel ramifiés formés présente une longueur dépassant 50 m.
