Impact of greenhouse gases on surface coal mining in ...
2018-8-20 Coal ore extraction involves both surface (open-pit) and underground mining techniques. The method selected depends on a variety of factors, including the nature and location of the deposit, size, depth, and grade of the deposit (Norgate and Haque, 2010).Surface mining operates in two distinct stages, overburden removal and coal extraction, as well as the recovery of the mined area.

The Mining Process Introduction underground COAL
The Mining Process. Once a mining lease has been awarded to an operator, exploration (i.e. evaluation of the resource) takes place, followed by a planning and development process before excavation or mining begins. The initial task is to gain access to the seam from the surface by some means (shafts, drifts, etc – see Access to Seam from ...
