Measuring rock stress is a difficult process, especially in the Stjernøya Nepheline-Syenite mine in Northern Norway. The complex nature and topography of the shallow deposit makes it difficult to conduct industry standard tests. Therefore, this thesis aims at answering how different stress measureme...
