The paper describes the study carried out in the Rodoretto mine to verify the behavior of the mine infrastructure after a new exploitation extension. Due to a complex geometry and variability in the geology, the new stress distribution around mine infrastructures has been assessed by using numerical methods. Using an ideal elasto-plastic model also the yielding zone distribution has been investigated, especially parameterizing some characteristics which have been found extremely variable during the exploration and investigation process.
