A review of the current and expected underground coal mining methods and profiles and an evaluation of the best practices associated with these

Identifying the most effective and efficient production systems and then analysing these to determine the factors contributing to the results is paramount to the understanding, management and planning of future operations. There is a need to increase current productivity levels in underground coa...

description Identifying the most effective and efficient production systems and then analysing these to determine the factors contributing to the results is paramount to the understanding, management and planning of future operations. There is a need to increase current productivity levels in underground coal mining and guidelines for achieving this need to be developed.
