opening out
The formation of a longwall face by driving headings and cross headings and connecting the faces to form a continuous line of coal face. It may be viewed as the final stage in development, leading to full coal production. In pillar-and-stall mining, opening out would imply the setting off of the main headings and subsidiary drivages for the formation of coal pillars.
