Underground mining accounts for 60% of world coal production, but is less common in NSW, making up around 35% of raw coal production. This method is also used to mine metallic minerals like gold and copper. The two main types of underground mining in NSW are bordandpillar and longwall mining.
Get priceMining techniques can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining and subsurface (underground) mining. Today, surface mining is much more common, and produces, for example, 85% of minerals (excluding petroleum and natural gas) in the United States, including 98% of metallic ores.
Get priceThere are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalifiion," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon rich, and harder material. The four ranks are:
Get priceAlthough the United States has the vast coal resource described in the previous chapter, perhaps as much as 4 trillion tons, the key issue for policy makers is the amount of coal that is economically recoverable.This is not a fixed quantity, but depends on the geological resource, the market price, and the cost of mining.

Get priceLongwall Mining Longwall mining involves using a mechanical shearer to extract coal from long rectangular blocks of medium to thick seams. Ultimate seam recovery using longwall mining techniques can exceed 75%. In longwall mining, continuous miners are used to develop access to these long rectangular coal blocks.
