The mines of Cluster XVII are more than 100 years old taken over mines of BCCL. Certain factors like historic unscientific mining, difficult geo-mining conditions, highly gassy seams, presence of large number of surface and ground water bodies and densely populated mining areas make mines of BCCL unique and mining difficult.
