Australia Coal Market Share

Surface mining is predominantly used in the coal market. This method involves the extraction of coal deposits that are close to the surface, typically through open-pit mining or strip-mining techniques. Surface mining is favoured due to Australia's geology, which often features large, shallow coal reserves that are economically viable to extract using heavy machinery and equipment. This approach allows for efficient extraction of coal with lower operational costs compared to underground mining, making it the preferred choice for many coal mining operations across the country.
