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.
