Knowing the physical properties of coal is important in the preparation and use of coal. For example, coal density ranges from about 1.1 to about 1.5 megagrams per cubic metre, or grams per cubic centimeter. Coal is slightly denser than water and significantly less dense than most rocks and mineral matter.

Drilling performance data can provide a viable means of characterizing the rock mass for MTM.

Highwall mining is an adaptation of auger mining. Instead of an auger hole, an entry into the coal seam is made by a continuous miner, remotely operated from a cabin at the surface. The cut coal is transported by conveyors behind the miner to the outside. Using a television camera, the operator can see and control the miner's progress.
