7.3.4: Highwall Mining | ABC 123: Testing Site / Course
The highwall miner can advance 1200' under the highwall compared to a typical 300' for an auger. Recovery rates improve from roughly 30% for an auger to near 50% for a highwall miner. The highwall miner can adapt more easily to varying seam thickness or other changes under the highwall. Its production rate can be much higher than an auger ...

Auger Mining
Auger mining is a method for recovering coal by boring into a coal seam at the base of strata exposed by excavation. Normally one of the lowest-cost techniques of mining, it is limited to horizontal or slightly pitched seams that have been exposed by geologic erosion. Augering is usually associated with contour strip-mining, recovering coal for ...

Analysis of Highwall Mining Stability
highwall. Modern auger and highwall mining has evolved from this humble beginning into a highly productive, sophisticated, high-technology, surface coal mining technique requiring four to five miners per shift. Volkwein, et al. (1) review the evolution of auger and highwall mining systems in the U.S. including the earliest augers

contour mining, as a type of auger system. The first auger system excavated a single hole of 1.5 m in diameter and 30 m long, and recovered 726 tonnes of coal per day with a four-man crew. While the auger mining system was regarded as a new productive mining method, some problems encountered with the increased penetration depth of up to 120 m.

A method to eliminate explosion hazards in auger highwall mining
A method of reducing a highwall or sharp cliff-like exposure at a mining site to gradable rubble for the purpose of reclamation is disclosed. The method includes the steps of placing a series of non-directional explosive charges at specific preselected locations on the floor of cavities created by mining, such cavities being auger holes, longwall mine …
