In longwall mining a panel of coal typically around 150 to 300 metres wide 1000 to 3500 metres long and 2 to 5 metres thick is totally removed by longwall shearing machinery which travels back and forth across the coalface.

Oct 24 2013 China is now working on and looking forward to the introduction of the 8-m 26.2-ft thick longwall mining system. This research was sponsored by the Chinese Natural Science Foundation under project No.U1261207. Author Information Syd S. Peng is a professor from WVUs Mining Engineering department who specializes in deep mining.

Introduction to the Mining Industry. The mining industry is involved in the extraction of precious minerals and other geological materials. The extracted materials are transformed into a mineralized form that serves an economic benefit to the prospector or miner. Typical activities in the mining industry include metals production metals .

Longwall mining is a deep mining technique capable of fully extracting huge panels of coal frequently up to 1500 feet wide and two miles long. Coal shearing machines known as continuous miners remove a long wall of coal in a single slice as hydraulic jacks hold up the roof above and in front of the machine.
