Longwall mining is a deep mining technique capable of fully extracting huge panels of coal, frequently up to 1,500 feet wide and two miles long. Coal shearing machines known as "continuous miners," remove a long wall of coal in a single slice as hydraulic jacks hold up the roof above and in front of the machine.
