Dec 7, 2020Discuss. (150W) Rat Hole Mining It is a primitive and hazardous method of mining for coal, with tunnels that are only 3-4 feet in diameter (hence, rat-hole), leading to pits ranging from 5-100 sq. mt deep. It involves digging of very small tunnels in which workers, more often children, enter and extract coal.

Open cut or surface mining in coal is a suitable choice when coal seams are closer to the natural surface. It is an effective method of retrieving a higher proportion of coal when compared to underground mining.

Aug 26, 2021The typical mining technique involves driving heavy machines underground, breaking up the rocks, and throwing them into a vat or tank below ground. However, with today's modern equipment and techniques, the entire operation can be conducted above ground. Today, there are many techniques that have been developed that make this easier and safer.

The underground mining methods we use include room and pillar, narrow vein stoping and large-scale mechanised mining. Room and pillar mining is a style of mining where tunnels are driven in a chess board pattern with massive square pillars between them which are gradually cut away as the work proceeds. We use this for mining coal.

There are three common surface mining methods. Strip mining Strip mining is the activity of removing a layer of earth to access the minerals that are in shallow deposits and continuing to do the same in adjacent areas without digging deeper vertically. Strip mining is best suited for shallow and horizontally located deposits.
