Abstract

Highwall mining is a remotely controlled mining method which extracts coal from the base of an exposed highwall. The method has the advantage of low capital cost and less lead time compared with a full underground mine, while being capable of producing in excess of 1 million tonnes per system per year. This method has been used in Australia, USA and India with considerable success.
