201985Although the United States has the vast coal resource described in the previous chapter, perhaps as much as 4 trillion tons, the key issue for policy makers is the amount of coal that is economically recoverable This is not a fixed quantity, but depends on the geological resource, the market price, and the cost of mining The particular characteristics of the coal mining industry create unique

Surface Mining Strip mining and mountaintop removal are two popular surface mining strategies when coal seams are located close to the surface of the earth Strip Mining In strip mining, the first step is to strip off the vegetation and soil in the vicinity of the surface to be mined for coal

Mining Mining Surface mining: It has been estimated that more than twothirds of the worlds yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining There are several types of surface mining, but the three most mon are openpit mining, strip mining, and quarrying These differ from one another in the mine geometries created, the techniques used, and the minerals produced
