Mining apparatus for longwall mining is described comprising a mineral winning machine which traverses a mineral face, a row of self-advanceable roof supports parallel to the face, and a conveyor also parallel to the face for removing cut mineral, the supports having platforms which support the conveyor, the hydraulic props of the supports being positioned between the mineral face and the conveyor. The winning machine thereby can cut substantially across its whole depth, the props being adjacent the face to be cut. Ramps are provided on the supports and the conveyor to scoop out mineral onto the platforms and then on the conveyor, during advance of the supports and the conveyor.
