4. Characteristic of R & P It is the most common supported pillar method, designed and used primarily for mining flat-lying seams, or tabular orebodies, or gently dipping bedded ore deposits of limited thickness (like coal, oil shale, limestone, phosphate, salt, trona, potash, and bedded uranium ores,). Room and pillar methods are well adapted to mechanization and are …

people worked in mining. The demand for more coal also encouraged the production of more efficient machines and methods of mining. The first machines used in mining were steam-powered engines designed to pump water out of mines. As mines became deeper, and more coal was dug out, steam winding engines were used to transport people and
