A section extending over several pillars is mined with a curved face (concave or convex) using scraping or cutting mining machines. The usual seam conveyors with a supporting frame, and the guide devices for the mining machines can be used. Due to the curved face, the roof is well supported in connection with the board and pillar method.

Room-and-pillar Mining - The room-and-pillar system involves extracting the ore by carving a series of rooms 20- to 30-feet wide while leaving pillars of ore 20- to 90- feet wide and as high as the ore bed to support the mine roof. When mining reaches the end of a section of ore, called a panel, the direction of mining

Mining & Processing. All trona is mined underground and then processed into soda ash or baking soda. An underground trona mine is like an underground city. There are maintenance shops, bathrooms, electricity lines, and streets. Most trona is mined through a room-and-pillar system where a series of parallel drifts are driven.

The panel being worked on may be up to 800 feet in width and 7,000 feet in length. Mined coal is deposited onto a conveyor that moves the coal to a collection area. Hydraulically powered shields over the machine provide ceiling support. Longwall mining is more efficient than room and pillar mining, but the equipment is more expensive.

Many salt mines use the "room and pillar" system of mining. Shafts are sunk down to the floor of the mine, and rooms are carefully constructed by drilling, cutting and blasting between the shafts, creating a checkerboard pattern. After the salt is removed and crushed, a conveyor belt hauls it to the surface.
