Surface miners dig up extra savings for coal mining

ongoing

Mine operators have been increasingly turning to surface miners as an alternative to conventional coal mining methods. Surface miners offer advantages such as selective mining, avoidance of blasting, and reduced transport costs. Wirtgen supplies surface miners for the selective mining of commodities like coal, limestone, and bauxite. A study conducted in a black coal mine in Queensland, Australia, highlighted the cost-efficiency and environmental benefits of using surface miners.
