Get PriceSurface 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 [citation needed]
Get PriceSubsurface mining is a process that involves the extraction of a metal or fossil fuel from the ground It is the best and most well known mining method The subsurface mining process is helpful in the process of mining for gold silver lead and even gems Besides this it is very much beneficial in the mining of coal salt and oil sands
Get PriceSince the 1960s surface mining methods have become more common and today they account for more than half of the coal produced in the United States In this approach also known as strip mining oversized bulldozers remove the land surface until coal is exposed producing large amounts of waste rock—and dust—in the process
Get PriceA strip mining technique wherein an active mining area is continuously moved across a mining ground Overburden is removed from a leading end of the active mining area and conveyed by a conveyor system located on a high wall of the mining area to a following end of that mining area The conveyed overburden is dumped adjacent the active mining area following end to form a spoil bank which is
Get PriceFactors That Determine Coal Mining Methods Depth of coal reserves Based on the depth at which the coal reserve rests mining companies engage in either surface or underground coal mining If the coal seams are found at depths lower than 200ft surface mining is done Here the vegetation is cleared off the topsoil is removed and if any hard
