4. Open cast mining. Also known as open pit mining, this is a method of surface mining where a large pit is made in the ground, and the coal is mined directly from that pit. This is a great method to use for a shallow coal seam and it is extremely productive. Of all the types of mining, this is one of the safest processes.

Types of Coal Mining. 1. Different types of coal are used depending on the amount of heat released when it is burned. How much heat released is determined by the levels of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Brittle and glassy, Anthracite is 86 to 97 percent carbon and yields almost 15,000 BTUs per pound. Bituminous coal is the most commonly used ...
