Pillar Extraction

Mining in the Sigma sub-basin began in the early 1950s at the Sigma Colliery. Early bord-and-pillar extraction mining methods however left much of the resource unmined, and during the 1960s total extraction methods, such as long walling and pillar extraction, were introduced to improve extraction (Cillié and Savage, 1961).

Bord Pillar | PPT

This document discusses the Bord and Pillar method of coal mining. It involves leaving pillars of coal as support during initial mining, allowing for around 20% output. Later, the pillars can be extracted to increase output to 60%. The document focuses on the process of depillaring, or extracting the remaining coal from the pillars.

Board & Pillar | PPT

This document discusses two mining methods: step mining and post-pillar mining. Step mining involves creating horizontal floors to allow equipment use for deposits that are too steeply inclined. Post-pillar mining uses regularly spaced pillars to extract inclined deposits between 20-55 degrees and allows filling of the mined space.
