Continuous Mining

Continuous mining is a method used in the extraction of minerals, particularly in underground mining. Instead of drilling and blasting, a continuous miner machine cuts and gathers material, like coal or gypsum, as it advances. This process allows for the steady removal of resources without the interruptions that come with traditional methods. Continuous mining improves efficiency and safety by minimizing the amount of support needed for the mine and reducing the risk of dangerous explosions. Overall, it streamlines operations and maximizes productivity in resource extraction.
