Summary:
The Spring Mountain mine utilized the Wharton and Mammoth seams for their mining operations.
Summary:
Spring Mountain mine uses a Komatsu PC2000 excavator, Caterpillar 777 trucks and Komatsu 375 bulldozers.
Having identified an area of anthracite reserves, an efficient blasting process is carefully planned out in order to fracture the overlying rock so that it can be excavated.
Overburden (rock lying above the anthracite) is removed using large hydraulic excavators or draglines, and taken away by 100-150 ton capacity dump trucks.
The underlying anthracite, called Run of Mine (ROM) is removed by excavators and transported for processing.
