Abstract: Ground movement and surface subsidence are remarkable in gold mine.Three vertical borehole extensometers were used to monitor magnitude,rate and changing process of the ground movement.Through field investigations,location and size of old river beds and unfilled mined out areas left by illegal mining were found.Based on in situ montoring and investigation results,reasons and regularities of ground movement and surface subsidence were obtianed,which provided a reliable basis for taking measures to control the ground movement and surface subsidence.
