The open stope is generally assessed by the ability to achieve maximum extraction with minimal dilution. The present evaluation measures to get result are based on the scale, the measures can not compare different scale stope performance and fail to adequately capture certain geometrical aspects of over-break or under-break. Aiming at these problems, the paper constructs a set of index with scale independent. The study of the existing evaluation indexes is used to analyze the characteristics of some typical shape. It is proposed to utilize a Circularity (C) measure for describing the regularity of shape of over-break and under-break, Extensivity (E) measure for describing the dispersity and spreadability of shape of over-break and under-break, Hemisphericity (H) measure for describing the equivalent depth of volume of over-break and under-break, Relative volume (Rv) measure for assess the stope performance. The four dimensionless and independent indexes were determined and given its value ranges, its numerical division according to semantic. The evaluation index system have unified evaluation method, evaluation index and evaluation standard, and then the comparison of the different scales of the stope performance is realized. The evaluation of four hypothetic stope obtained the value of the four indexes and their semantic, and then determined their potential failure mode. The results show that the method is simple, and the results conform to the actual situation.
