The mining and production of coal were at its peak in the 1950s, but unfortunately, after the civil war, coal production in Nigeria declined drastically. Obviously, with the diversion to crude oil, the mining of coal has been removed from the Nigerian natural resources limelight.
The only functional underground Coal Mine in Nigeria is located in Enugu in Anambra State. For some years now the mine has been beset with a perenial problem of flooding. This has hampered produc tion and some time ago the mine was abandoned. Recently money and equipment were made available to reactivate the mine. Attempts...

This article presents cost models for open pit mines, which takes into account cost uncertainty. In this paper, cost uncertainty is considered as cost of under production, and cost of over production.

Mining Cost Service continues to be a useful reference on a wide range of topics for early stage mine planning through to fill the gaps on more detailed studies. Mining Cost Service provides an independent source for information on equipment, quantities and cost for a significant number of mining methods and range of production rates.
Jan 01, 2017#0183;#32;The authors used NPV to compare each option for the disposal of coal mine tailings and, subsequently, to determine the most costeffective strategy for the mine site. Environmental valuation method Valuation. A mining project evaluation is not only based on its financial profitability but also its sustainable development
lower stripping ratios. For underground mining, the estimates range is between US and US per ton of rated capacity. This means that a 1 Mt/a rated Indian coal mine will require an estimated capital cost of US million (Dipu, 2011). The underground estimates are applicable to shallow mines (less than 150 m depth) operated with semi

Mining Cost Service is the industry standard reference for Mining Cost Estimation. This system places cost estimating data at your fingertips with conveniently indexed information to make your cost estimates faster, easier, and more credible. Monthly updates assure that you are working with the most current cost data available.
Sep 12, 2014#0183;#32;Coal generated lots of revenue for Nigeria between the years 1916 and 1970 when it was one of Nigerias major revenue earners. In the south eastern part of the country exploration of the mineral began proper in present day Enugu State in 1909, with production at the mines in Onyeama, Ogbete, Iva Valley and Okpara climbing from 25, 511 tons in 1916 to an estimated 583,422 tons before a
This study estimates capital investment, operating costs, and selling prices for four underground bituminous mines producing coal with annual production ranging from to million tons. It is assumed that the mines have a 20year life.
Initial capital investment ranges from 12,938,200 for the (mm tpy) mine to 31,435,500 for the Mm tpy mine. Total capital investment ranges from 21,607,200 to 51,982,000 for the same mines.
Large open cut mines can cost hundreds of millions and some cases over a billion dollars to close. Currently, the Ranger Uranium Mine and Century Mine (zinc) are the two largest mine closures to date. These two mines will cost in the vicinity of 750m to 1bn to close once complete, and the outcomes in regards to residual risks and

The Coal Atlas Nigeria and Coal At What Cost sum up the importance of bringing the effects of coal mining to the surface of our consciousness as a people. They will also help drive future narratives on power generation and the use of fossil fuels in Nigeria.
Sixteen people were killed in a coal mine due to excessive levels of carbon monoxide after being trapped underground in southwest China, according to local authorities. The incident happened when a conveyor belt at the mine caught fire, producing excessive levels of carbon monoxide and trapping 17 miners underground.
Nigeria''s coal industry suffered a blow in the 1950s when oil was discovered. Up until this point, the Nigerian Railway Corporation was the largest consumer of coal in the country. However, after the discovery of oil, the Railway Corporation began to replace its coal burning trains with diesel
