In the mining industry, the challenging task of mining professionals comprises the extraction of maximum natural resources along with the protection of the miners. Application of conventional Bord and Pillar mining in thick seams is yielding an extremely low percentage of extraction rate (around 30%) even under favorable conditions. Almost 50% of coal reserves in India are found to possess a seam thickness of about over 4.5 meters which is considered and called thick seams. The exploitation of thick seams by underground methods arises certain difficulties and problems. Blasting Gallery (BG) method can be applied for extracting thick seams. A comprehensive study of the blasting gallery method of mining within the technical and technological analysis is will allow for its effective application.
