Abstract: This paper describes some mitigation/remedial measures used in Chilean open pit engineering practice to 
deal with some common pit slope problems. These measures include the use of controlled blasting 
techniques, slope depressurization and pit dewatering, use of retaining dikes, buttresses and removal of 
material in unstable slopes, and the filling of pre-existing underground excavations and surface craters.
