بیشترMine Exploration Activities. One issue with the accounting for mining is that a mine operator first has to engage in exploration activities in order to even figure out where to develop a mine. Then it has to decide whether it would be economical to build the mine, and only then can it begin developing the property.

بیشترMining coal . Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many U.S. coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, while others are deep underground.Modern mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978.
بیشترThe overall coal mining process consists of several sequential stages: (1) exploration of a potentially economic coal seam to assess minable reserves, environmental issues, marketable reserves, potential markets, and permitting risks; (2) analysis and selection of a mining plan; (3) securing the markets; (4) developing the mine; (5) extracting ...
