Fault was a common geological structure in excavation and mining of the mining face, which brought a lot of problems for the mining. Based on the analysis of different fault processing method, the actual fully mechanized working face was taken as an example, through reasonablely arranging the middle lane, roadway supporting, cut docking, transportation system and ventilation system, the practical application skip-mining way of crossing ault was introduced. This successful practice of the skip-mining passing the fault ensured the normal working face and accumulated experience for working face crossing fault.
