ABSTRACT:
A pressurized fluid is injected into a subterranean cavity in a mineral deposit to support the overburden during hydraulic mining operations. A dynamic seal between the drill string and a surrounding casing retains fluid pressure within the cavity as the drill string rotates during mining operations. A blowout protector retains fluid pressure within the cavity while the drill string is raised or lowered within the cavity when it is necessary to add or remove drill string sections.
