• 33% of all Coal Production in the U.S. is from Underground Mines • 63% of all Coal Produced East of the Mississippi is from Underground Mines – In all states east of the Mississippi, except Indiana and Tennessee, the majority of coal production comes from underground mining activities • 9% of all Coal Produced West of the Mississippi is
ABSTRACT: Underground coal mining continues to evolve in the U.S., and more reserves are being mined under deeper cover, with worse roof, or with interactions from previous workings. At the same time, the mining community is responding to higher safety standards and intense competitive pressures. The need for effective
Ground control failures continue to be one of the leading causes of injuries and fatalities in underground coal mining. The roof, rib, floor, and pillars are four areas of potential ground failures that miners, engineers, and consultants are continually evaluating. Quite often, these four underground structures are evaluated independently. A recent …

Coal is relatively easy to extract while using this method, and it's still sometimes considered preferable to more modern techniques like sublevel caving for a consistently productive coal mine. As the method involves less overburden excavation than strip mining, the room and pillar technique is often preferred for deeper operations ...
