The number of longwall mines (note due to large capital required one coal mine could only afford one longwall panel or one set of longwall equipment) increased rapidly in the 1970s, reaching a peak of 118 in 1982–1984 (Fig. 1). Since all coal mines then were operating with room and pillar mining system that is flexible, as opposed to rigid ...
