Coal mining, particularly open cast coal mining, causes disruption and degradation over wide regions. Post mining restoration has vital importance in order to minimize the impacts on the environment. Besides the ongoing reclamation activities, it is important to re-evaluate the health of planted species until the vegetation is self-supporting.
Coal mining and processing for the Masama project. The Masama coal project will be a conventional open-cast mining operation using trucks and shovels for the first 25 years of the mine life. The E, A, and AU coal seams in the West block are amenable for open-cast mining.

Open Cast Mining Advantages. In the previous topic, we saw which are some of the advantages that can make the surface open pit mining methods superior method compared to the underground mining. However, underground mining has its own advantages. And finally, the ultimate decision to mine from the surface or from underground comes down to the ...
Open cast coal mining involves various operations e.g overburden removal, drilling, blasting, mineral loading, haulage and unloading that generate particulates due to various mechanisms. It has been observed that out of total particulates generated, the PM 10 constitute one-third to half (Ghose & Majee, 2007; Trivedi et al, 2009).
