Coal is mined either by surface methods (open-cut or open-cast mining) or by underground techniques. In surface mining, all of the rock from the ground surface to the top of the seam (material referred to as overburden) is removed and set aside to expose the coal, which is then taken out and transported from the mine for preparation and use ( Figure 11 ).

While coal mining might contribute significantly to a country’s export and GDP, it has a lesser impact on national employment and income. On the other hand, mining can create several adverse
Contact2011. 2. 16. This guideline covers the open cast mining of ore bearing rock including coal. It excludes quarrying and open cast extraction of construction materials, stone and rock. (The processing of ore after extraction is covered in the Mineral Processing guideline as this is common to both open cast and underground mining operations.) Open cast mining involves the removal of ore from seams

ContactNowadays some 70 % of world production of ore and coal comes from surface mines, as does most of the stone that is quarried. The large open-cast lignite mines in Germany are found in the Rhineland, near Leipzig, and in the Lausitz region to the north-east of Dresden.
Contact2015. 7. 7. A major part of iron ore, non-ferrous metals, brown coal, building materials and minerals for industry is being excavated in open-cast mines. This type of mining has a deep impact on the natural strata. Open-cast mining changes geological, hydrological and geotechnical conditions. It influences the existing ecological system and landscape.
