COAL MINING 1 Underground M: Since 1900, accidents have killed over 100,000 U.S. miners; over 200,000 have died from black lung disease. E: These deaths and illnesses are re!ected in wages and workers'' comp, costs considered internal to the coal industry, but long-term sup-port often depends on state and federal funds.

contact us· In locations where coal beds are thick and near the surface, such as in Wyoming, mining costs and coal prices tend to be lower than in locations where the beds are thinner and deeper, such as in Appalachia. The higher cost of coal from underground mines reflects the more difficult mining conditions and the need for more miners.

Once corrected for inflation at the Australian CPI, the increases are more like $3.50/t per year for the small mines and $1.40/t per year for the large mines, expressed in 2016 dollars. Thus we can say that underground mining costs in Australia have ...

contact us· The decision on whether to operate an above- or underground mine is heavily influenced by a couple of important factors. The major factor in deciding on whether to go underground or open cut is the stripping ratio (Whittles et al. 2007).This is defined as the ratio of the volume of overburden (BCM) moved to the amount of coal produced (tonnes).
