The mining industry finds itself in a new era due to global economic and political trends. Strengthening demand for primary resources predominately from emerging economies has taken up the mining industry to a new level. Underground mining allows coal extracting companies to explore and extract deeper coal reserves and is viewed as less destructive than strip mining. In pillar and room mines coal columns are left to support the ground during the initial stage of mining, later they are also extracted and the mine is left for collapsing and this process is called subsidence. In long wall mines shearer extracts the coal from the mines. The support structures that enable the extraction through shearer are removed in later stage and mine is left for collapsing. Ores such as oil, shale gas, limestone's rock salts, metals and clay are usually extracted through mining.
