PA Mining History
In modernday roomandpillar mines, the dimensions of the mining equipment (cut width and reach of the continuous miner) and the type of haulage system employed largely determine the pillar dimensions. Coal recovery is relatively low using the roomandpillar method, normally ranging between 35 and 70 percent.
Glossary of Mining Terms
