Abstract
Uranium mine in Saghand area can be mined and exploited using different underground methods. In order to achieve this goal, two vertical shafts each 350m in length were sunk and equipped. In this article two methods which have been applied by Russian and china experts will be explained and then they will be compared with each other. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of the applied methods, a third method has been derived from their comparisons. This last method was found to have many advantages and was accepted as an selected method for the Saghand Uranium explotation.
