Abstract
Auger mining-extraction of coal with large diameter augers is proving profitable in recovering coal left after stripping has ceased to be economical. Its many advantages-low initial cost of equipment, low operating cost, low power demand, adaptability to selective mining, simplicity of operation, etc.-have excited the interest of some in the industry in its possibilities for underground operation.
