• DIRECTORY OF COAL MINES IN ILLINOIS

    Highextraction retreat mining is a form of roomandpillar mining that extracts most of the coal. Rooms and pillars are developed in the panels, and the pillars are then systematically removed (fig. 1F). In early (pre1960) longwall mines, mining advanced in multiple directions from a central shaft (fig. 1G). Large pillars of coal were left ...
