Resembling a cross between an underground continuous miner and a surface augering machine, the Thin Seam Miner (TSM) is able to bore into coal seams from new or abandoned highwalls to distances of 220 ft. This ability, enhanced by the incorporation of natural-radiation sensors, allows a TSM to recover 80% to 85% of coal left in the hillside after conventional contour mining is completed.
