Rubble Drift

an underground mining process used to extract rocks from the roof (mainly) or floor of a mineral bed in a worked-out area of a drift. Rock is used to control the roofs by means of the spreading out of rubble belts. The rubble drift is used for temporary support and is not held up as the drift moves.
