What is Contour Strip Mining? Definition and Overview. Contour strip mining is a method of surface mining used to extract coal that follows the contours along a hill or mountain side. Unlike traditional strip mining that removes vast and flat layers of soil and rock to reach coal seams, contour mining adapts to the landscape's natural curves.

In strip coal mining operations, the following are sometimes seen: SR = Overbuden Thickness (ft) Coal Thickness (ft) SR = Overburden (yd 3 ) Coal (tons) Stripping Ratios Instantaneous stripping ratio: The stripping ratio for a given push back Overall stripping ratio: The stripping ratio for the total amount of material removed.

coal losses in the mining process and contamination. The coal price in 2005 was about US$45 per ton (InfoMine, 2015), which means that approximately 10.7 Mt of coal was lost. Coal losses are therefore a major concern for pillar mining operations, since only 30% of the original coal reserves remain underground as old pillars in the no. 2 seam ...
