What is some mining equipment for shaft mining?

Shaft mining is the earnest form of underground mining. Underground mining is selected when the rock or mineral is so far to reach using surface mining. Shaft mining is the kind of mine that you normally see in movies where the miner travels straight down into a profound, dark tunnel until he reaches the base. The shaft mine has a vertical man shaft, a tunnel where the men travel up and down in an elevator. Equipment is taken into the mine using this shaft, too. Short tunnels to the ore are dug from that man shaft. When the ore is dynamited and broken into chunks, it is taken to the top and loaded into trucks through a second shaft. There is usually an air shaft that gives the mine ventilation. When we visited a coal mine, it was amazing how much air moved around in the tunnels. Moving air removes the gases that occur naturally underground.


What is the entrance or opening to a mine called?

An adit. In North America, the horizontal or sloped entrance to a mine is called a "Portal". Portal more specifically refers to the portion of the shaft visible from the outside of the mine. In some areas, the Portal portion of a horizontal shaft is called the "Drift Mouth" or "Drift Portal" as this shaft leads into a "Drift Mine". With a vertical shaft, that portion would be called a "Collar".
