At the present time our understanding of rock behaviour under mining conditions is largely empirical. Limitations in this approach have been recognized and laboratory testing is gradually being introduced as another source of information. An adequate correlation of laboratory test results with field conditions has not been established but test results are being published, as in the report on mining practices at Elliot Lake (1)*, on the basis of their comparative value. This study aims at establishing some of the physical properties of an andesite rock by conducting tests on specimens cut from diamond drill core. The results may be useful for comparison with other rock types and for relating laboratory test results to rock behaviour under mining conditions.
