Bituminous coal mining had the most fatal injuries from 2008–2017 with 206 fatal injuries and the highest societal cost totaling over $302 million. Coal mining made up over half of the fatal injuries and half of the total societal costs for the entire mining industry during this time period.

Mining costs in Indian mines are about 35% higher than costs in leading coal-exporting countries such as Australia, Indonesia, and South Africa (Santra and Bangaria, 2014). The higher mining costs in India are driven mainly by low labour productivity. In 2013 India forecast a production increase of 3%, compared to only a 2% increase in South ...

1. Fuel costs. Costs associated with the fuel used in the production of energy. For a nuclear plant, these tend to be lower even though the following steps occur in the production of the fuel assemblies used in the reactor: mining of the uranium ore, conversion to U 3 O 8 (uranium oxide - yellowcake form), conversion to uranium hexafluoride,

Using this estimate, we determined the cost associated with coal mining in Appalachia as $50.01 billion per year. After adjusting for other mortality risks, the VSL analysis continued to show excess costs relative to the economic benefits of mining. Estimates ranged from $8.236 billion to $18.166 billion.

Mine cost estimation may be done at many levels. At first it may be a simple "back of the envelope" estimation using similar operations to benchmark against. Later it may be decided to use an existing mine that the company owns and factor and compare costs against them. In the final stages a detailed bottom-up estimation based on first ...
