We have been posting a series on our Facebook page, I wanted to also begin sharing here of the mining process. This is the drills set up to get ready to blast.

awsome matt keep us posted that neet thankyou !!

Nice L. Lookin fwd to more pix of the process.

Holes are drilled, ready to set explosives!

Also, if you look closely at the stone wall, you will see a hole. This is where deep mines went through many years ago.

Nice L. Keep em coming. Real interesting. I was on that #9 mine tour with Jack & was real impressed.

Yes, sure is nice L. I was there with Jack and FF too and was lucky to be on the tour. I also enjoyed the FB video of the string of charges freeing up more of the Mammoth vein.

Next in the series is a video, Explosives are set and ready to go!

Nice L, I always get a bang (yep, pun intended!!!) out of that kinda stuff!! Thanx!!

what they said and now how the next step is ! thanx , and keep us up todate , thankyou.

The aftermath, after blasting we move 10cuyd of bank material on average to bring you 1 ton of clean coal

Nice L, thanx for the show!

Once blasting is complete we begin moving the rock to access the raw coal.

I also want to thank you for sharing the process with us. Now when I look at my pile of black Lehigh rocks I'm getting an idea of what it takes to mine them.
