In the Australian operations, the coal is mined using either open cut or underground methods. The underground methods comprise either "bord and pillar" operations, or more commonly the "longwall" mining method. Each method requires extensive government approvals with detailed background reports on the proposed infrastructure developments.
258.9 million tonnes produced in 2019 (253Mt in 2018) with total coal sales of R139.3 billion (R146 billion in 2018) Net investment in the coal industry was R4.5 billion in 2010, decreasing to R2.5 billion in 2018 - an average decline of 15% per year. This is despite the fact that coal is a major source of electricity in the country.
Coal mines generally have active mining zones and areas that were previously mined. These mined-out areas can be abandoned areas that are no longer ventilated and are separated from the active mining areas by explosion-resistant structures called seals. Seals are designed to contain an explosion within the abandoned area.
The most recent coal mine explosion in Canada occurred at the Westray mine in Plymouth, Nova Scotia in 1992, where 26 miners were killed, prompting a major public inquiry. Coal dust also presented a major health hazard for underground miners, causing respiratory ailments such as silicosis and black lung disease (pneumoconiosis).

Coal from the mine is transported to six Interior Alaska electrical power plants, where it produces 29 percent of the power for the region. "The mine produces approximately 1.4 million tons of coal per year—a huge jump from the 10,000 tons produced in 1943," Usibelli Coal Mine stated in a news release last year.
