Highwall mining is a coal mining method for recovery of outcropped coal by mechanical excavation without removal of overburden A continuous miner with single or multiple augers/cutting heads is operated underground and controlled remotely by crew located outside Augering can be regarded as a supplementary method for open cast mining in cases when coal seams in the highwall would otherwise

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 The opencast also referred to as the open pit method is the ideal technique when

The object of collecting coal samples after mining is to determine the quality of coal actually being produced This coal may differ significantly from the in situ seam analysis in that not all of the seam may be included in the mining section or that more than one seam may be worked and fed to the mine mouth and mixed with coal from other
