2019-12-4 Strip mining – Strip mining is the most common surface mining method used to mine coal and lignite. The process is done by removing a strip of overburden before mining a seam of mineral. Strip mining is done only when the ore body is in close proximity to the surface. Open-pit mining – Open-pit mining is the method in which minerals or ...

2020-3-12 Using specialized machines, longwall mining is an underground mining method that cuts out panels of the coal, which are then sheared down and brought to the surface. This method is highly mechanized, and is therefore a very safe type of mining. It is a highly productive method as well, with a very low cost per ton as compared to some other methods.

Shortwall mining method is used only for less than 1% of deep coal production. This method also utilizes a continuous mining machine with moveable roof supports, similar to longwall mining method. Retreat mining method uses pillars or coal ribs to hold up the mine roof. This method is the one of the most dangerous mining method as it is ...
