A resin bonded mine roof bolt having an elongated rod with a first end, a
second end, and a resin control surface positioned on the rod between the
rod first and second ends. The resin control surface has a channel
extending along the length of the bolt for distributing resin and
interrupted spiral threads for mixing resin. When installed in a mine
roof bore hole with curable resin, the resin control surface mixes the
resin and partially fills the bore hole to minimize the amount of resin
needed to anchor the bolt.
