A variety of coal room and pillar mining methods have been efficiently practiced at depths of up to 500 m with least strata mechanics issues. However, for the first time, this method was trialled at depths of 850–900 m in CSM mine of Czech Republic. The rhomboid-shaped coal pillars with acute corners of 70°, surrounded with 5.2 m wide and 3.5–4.5 m high mine roadways, were used. Pillars were developed in a staggered manner with their size variation in the Panel II from 83 m × 25 m–24 m × 20 m (corner to corner) and Panel V from 35 m × 30 m–26 m × 16 m. Coal seam inclined at 12° was affected by the unusual slippery slickenside roof bands and sometimes in the floor levels with high vertical stress below strong and massive sandstone roof. In order to ensure safety, pillars in both the panels were continuously monitored using various geotechnical instruments measuring the induced stresses, side spalling and roof sagging. Both panels suffered high amounts of mining induced str
