The overall process of coal exploration and mining involves six separate but interdependent and overlapping components: • Exploration: the identification and geological assessment of a new coalbearing area; • Mine Design: the design and economic evaluation of the most appropriate mining operation to make use of the coal in that area;
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Coal in the seam is then excavated. Surveyors are present to ensure the coal is mined optimally. The coal is blasted into smaller layers, which are dug up and transported by trucks to a processing plant. Throughout the coal mining process, we minimise the impacts on the environment including the air and water quality, noise and heritage sites.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In the longwall mining method, mine development is carried out in such a manner that large blocks of coal, usually 100 to 300 metres wide and 1,000 to 3,000 metres long, are available for complete extraction (see photograph).A block of coal is extracted in slices, the dimensions of which are fixed by the height of coal extracted, the width of the longwall face, and the thickness of the slice ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Mining. In Australia, nearly 80% of coal is produced from opencut mines, in contrast to the rest of the world where opencut mining only accounts for 40% of coal production. Opencut mining is possible because coal seams are close to the surface. Such mining is cheaper than underground mining and enables up to 90% recovery of the resource.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Two dominant methods account for the vast majority of underground coal mining: "room and pillar" and "longwall" mining.. In room and pillar mining, seams of coal are partially mined, leaving large pillars of coal intact to support the overlying layers of rock. When finished, miners practice "retreat" mining, extracting as much coal as possible from the remaining pillars as they ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Coal miners use two primary methods to remove coal. Surface mining is often used when coal is less than 200 feet underground. In surface mining, large machines remove the topsoil and layers of rock known as overburden to expose coal seams. Mountaintop removal is a form of surface mining where the tops of mountains are removed to access coal seams.
