A mine roof and rib support device comprising a support member, a roof support arm, a rib support arm, a bearing plate and a mine roof bolt. The roof support arm is provided at an angle to the rib support arm and comprises at least one aperture therethrough. The bearing plate comprises an upper edge and a lower edge and a through-hole defined therethrough. The upper and lower edges of the bearing plate can be positioned in abutment with the roof and rib support arms, respectively, with the through-hole being aligned with the aperture through the support member. The mine roof bolt extends through the through-hole of the bearing plate and the aperture of the roof support arm, thereby pressing the bearing plate against the support member. The upper edge exerts a force against the roof support arm and the lower edge exerts a force against the rib support arm.
