A Abutment In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ahead of the face and the back abutment, that is, the settled packs behind the face

Mining Mining Underground mining: When any ore body lies a considerable distance below the surface, the amount of waste that has to be removed in order to uncover the ore through surface mining becomes prohibitive, and underground techniques must be considered Counting against underground mining are the costs, which, for each ton of material mined, are much higher underground than on
If the excavation used for mining is entirely open or operated from the surface, it is termed a surface mine If the excavation consists of openings for human entry below the earth’s surface, it is called an underground mine The details of the procedure, layout, and equipment used in the mine distinguish the mining
