Underground mining is used when the coal deposit lies deep below the surface of the earth. When developing an underground mine, miners first must dig tunnels deep into the earth near the place where the coal is located. Depending on where the coal seam is in relation to the surface, tunnels may be vertical, horizontal, or sloping.

The cost of mining is low because very little drilling and blasting, or timbering is required. The amount of development is small. A large output is possible. Disadvantages: The method is limited in application to low-grade ore of such character that it will cave and disintegrate. A large amount of ore becomes mixed with capping and lost.
