SUBSIDENCE Overview Subsidence occurs when large areas of coal are mined and the resulting settlement of roof material into the void (the goaf) results in the surface subsiding over the affected area. The degree of subsidence that ...
Types of Underground Mining Underground mining for coal is conducted by either room and pillar mining or longwall mining. In room and pillar mining, approximately 50 percent of the coal is removed, using a continuous miner, from
Most coal seams are too deep underground for opencast mining and require underground mining, a method that currently accounts for about 60 percent of world coal production. In deep mining, the room and pillar or bord and pillar ...
