The focus of these coal exploration projects are to accurately and cost effectively predict the geology of a coal field. More geologic data generally yield a better geological model of the coal field. Advances in geophysical methods may provide tools to supplement the traditional methods of coal exploration.
2 #0183;#32;Surface coal mining generally involves the following sequence of unit operations: (1) clearing the land of trees and vegetation, (2) removing and storing the top layers of the unconsolidated soil (topsoil), (3) drilling the hard strata over the coal seam, (4) fragmenting or blasting the hard strata with explosives, (5) removing the blasted material, exposing the coal seam, and cleaning the top of the coal seam, (6)
Passive seismic methods which use no active humanbuild source, but utilise the natural sounds of the earth, produce in most cases a low resolution of the subsurface compared to active seismic.
coal bed methane exploration methods, the paper proposes a new technology of coal bed methane exploration with naturalsource (passive) ultralow frequency electromagnetic waves. The principles of passive ultralow frequency electromagnetic detection and the mechanism of coal bed methane exploration are first introduced.
Principles. Passive Seismic Tomography (PST) is a new revolutionary geophysical exploration technique that uses natural microseismicity (microearthquakes with magnitudes of 1 up to Richter which occur almost everywhere) as the seismic sources. A portable and specially designed network of seismometers are deployed on the surface and set to
Airborne geophysical methods for mineral exploration are means to collect geophysical data that can be used to prospect directly or indirectly for economic minerals that are characterized by anomalous magnetic, conductive or radiometric responses.

The passive seismic HVSR method has potential to be a robust survey method for defining basin architecture in shallow coal basins with poorly indurated basin fill deposits, especially in remote parts of the world with difficult access and limited exploration funds to carry out active seismic surveys.
Dilip Kumar, Deepak Kumar, in Management of Coking Coal Resources, 2016. Geochemical Methods. The applicability of geochemical methods in coal exploration has not yet been properly established. As stated by Fettweis (1979), Geochemical exploration, using the systematic measurement of one or more chemical properties of a naturally occurring material to discover and delineate
Coal exploration involves finding new coal deposits. It also involves evaluating new or existing deposits to determine the quantity and quality of the coal contained within them, and to identify any geological factors that may affect the recovery and use of the coal concerned.
Drilling is the traditional and still the most common method used in coal exploration. Most coal companies rely heavily on borehole data to evaluate their mine properties. However for the Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) and Coal Bed Methane (CBM) it is necessary to map the subsurface coal and to detect other spatial properties of the coal seam with a high degree of accuracy.
The most widelyused method of noncore drilling in the coal industry is rotary drilling. In this technique, a string of metal drill rods is rotated axially, and a bit at the base of the string is forced downward, under controlled pressure, breaking up the ground and advancing the depth of the hole.
An introduction into the techniques used for subsurface exploration and delineation of coal deposits.

INTRODUCTION We have come so far with exploration methods in the last 100 years. Cabletool drilling was an economical breakthrough over exploratory shafts and
Coal mining Coal mining Prospecting and exploration: The fundamental objective of coal prospecting is to discover coal resources through a search. In areas where coal mining has not been previously practiced, the search process should result in obtaining coal samples that give reasonable evidence of the existence of a coal seam. Once a seam has been discovered, considerable further work is
These methods can involve invasive and destructive techniques however, especially when drilling shallow holes on the surface to place microphones or listening devices to reflect and transmit sound signals. A note on oil and gas exploration methods. The aforementioned methods and strategies do not guarantee the presence of oil or gas deposits.
Active methods use a manmade source for signal. Passive methods use natural source for signal. In seismic, manmade sources usually include dynamite or vibroseis. Natural sources of seismic energy come from earthquakes. In EM geophysics, it is mo...

Coal seams can also be evaluated insitu by geophysical means for their coalbed methane content. All of this work can be accomplished by geophysical tools that run inside the drilling rods. page 3. Insitu Coal Deposit Evaluation Methods. Coal deposits occur in sedimentary strata that have some lateral extent.
