Introduction to Bord and Pillar Method
The Bord and Pillar Method is an underground mining technique used to extract coal. It is one of the oldest and most commonly used methods for coal mining. The method involves the creation of a network of tunnels or 'headings' in the coal seam, which are then divided into smaller sections called 'panels'.

How do seismic tests identify minerals underground?
Once the seismic waves are recorded, the raw data undergoes a complex process of seismic data processing. This step is essential to convert the noisy, raw seismic signals into a clear and interpretable image. Data processing includes multiple stages such as data sorting, noise reduction, deconvolution, and migration.

What You Need To Know About Mineral Processing
In simple terms, mineral processing is separating commercially valuable minerals or metals from other rocks. It's not often that you dig up a large gold nugget. Instead, small particles of gold can be found mixed in with other minerals, metals, and rocks, some valuable, and some not. The collection of all these materials together is called ore.
