BASIC MINING METHODS. Coal seams can be mined both by underground methods and surface mining methods depending on certain conditions, e.g., thickness and dip of the seam; depth of occurrence; the ratio of overburden to coal, etc. There are two basic underground coal mining methods. They are i) bord and pillar method, and ii) longwall method. Although the basic principles
