Hi Kids. I wanted to show you a video that describes board and pillar mining of coal. My job at the Board is to educate children and young adults on the dangers of mine subsidence.

Check out our videos on "Longwall" mining and "Goaf".

You can see me at www.minesub.nsw.gov.au and click on Maurie Mole.

This video has no sound.

  • The illustration is nice and well done.

    However there are some safety errors in the way you mine those pillars: You always have to mine from the 'safe zone' (between pillars) towards the 'dangerous zone' (no pillars) to ensure safe evacuation of miners and machinery.

    It's just a detail...
