in Canada mines cant be within 75 metres of a home

Longwall mining in Scotland is usually done at a much greater depth minimising disruption to the surface and is never done under residential areas or protected farmland. 600 feet is way too close to the surface and should be mined by opencast. The video also shows primary roofbolting support and this is also risky with such a shallow overburden. Profit should never over rule safety. Get a decent mining engineer.
