Most of the research work on rockburst in the world is now concentrated on the prediction,control and prevention of rockburst. Few work has been done on how to proceed the rockburst research in developing a new mine with rockburst tendency. In this paper, the authors create a general working procedure to develop a new hard-rock burst-prone mine. The general procedure is divided into 6 steps： initial determination of burst tendency; study of the proneness to rockburst of typical rock samples ;in-situ rock stress measurement; possibility of strain burst in the mine; principles in the selection of mining techniques; setting up seismic monitoring system. The above study results lays a theoretical foundation for applied research of deep hard-rock burst-prone mining.
