When it comes to mining coal, there are two processes by which coal can be removed from the ground: surface mining, or underground mining. In Australia, the majority of coal mining is done via the opencast method, although often the method of choice is dependent on certain characteristics of the coal deposit 1.. The opencast, also referred to as the open-pit method, is
Read More2020-5-24 · Surface mining and deep underground mining are the two basic methods of mining. The choice of mining method depends primarily on depth, density, overburden, and thickness of the coal seam; seams relatively close to the surface, at depths less than approximately 55 m (180 ft), are usually surface mined.

Some examples of substances that are mined include coal, gold, or iron ore.Iron ore is the material from which the metal iron is produced. The process of mining dates back to prehistoric times. Prehistoric people first mined flint, which was ideal for tools and weapons since it breaks into shards with sharp
Read More2020-3-12 · 4. Open cast mining. Also known as open pit mining, this is a method of surface mining where a large pit is made in the ground, and the coal is mined directly from that pit. This is a great method to use for a shallow coal seam and it is extremely productive. Of all the types of mining, this is one of the safest processes.

Read MoreIt is cheaper than underground coal mining. There are three types of surface mining - strip mining, where explosives are used to remove the top layers; open pit mining when a pit is dug, and MTR mining where a whole mountain summit is destroyed. Underground mining is performed when the coal is deeper than 300ft below ground level.
