The invention discloses a method for filling and mining after ore caving, which includes the following steps: exploiting; mining quasi work; cutting work: including excavation of mine collection trench and patio cutting, cutting a patio at one end portion of a rock drilling chamber, cutting the patio by using a vertical deep hole ore falling stage chamber method, and enabling patio cutting to provide sufficient compensation space for actual mining; chamber extraction work: constructing a downward blasthole in the rock drilling chamber, filling and blasting, one-time blasting charging at the entire middle section height of the blasthole, and enabling blasting to adopt one-time lateral blasting and ore removal; filling and maintaining: closing all outlets communicated with a lower mine of the empty area, burying strainer pipes, leading in filling pipelines from the upper portion of the chamber, and filling and maintaining the chamber; and pillar recovery: recovering pillars after filling and maintaining the chamber, and the pillar recovery is the same as the chamber extraction work. The method for filling and mining after ore caving is high in recovery rate of mineral resources, small in blasting impact effect, low in cost and high in production efficiency.
