This paper presents a brief review of the current andpotential technologies for cutting coal and controlling roof in Vietnamunderground coal mines. From the review, it is concluded that there is anurgent demand on improvement of current technologies as well as oninvestigation for effective application of more advanced mining methodsinto the industry, especially for deep mining at Red River Delta—the largestcoal basin in Vietnam.
