The part of the ore body (coal seam) that is left unmined when the ore body is mined. It is also called a pillar or a crown, and in the case of a coal seam, it is called a coal pillar. In order to mine an underground ore body, in addition to the face, an organized network of tunnels that are interconnected is required. The framework of this tunnel network is called the mine structure, and it is installed to maintain it. In particular, in the pillar mining method, tunnels are cut vertically and horizontally into the coal seam to leave coal pillars (pillar making), which are then mined (pillar pulling). Pillars are also installed as safety pillars. They can be installed vertically (vertical pillars) or horizontally (horizontal pillars). They are recovered at the final stage of mining (secondary mining), but may not be recovered due to economic or safety reasons.

鉱体を採掘するときに採掘されずに残される鉱体(炭層)の部分をいう。残柱,竜頭ともいい,炭層の場合は炭柱という。地下に存在する鉱体を採掘するために切羽のほかに相互に関連づけられた組織的な坑道網を必要とする。この坑道網による骨組みを坑内構造といい,これを維持するために設けられるものである。特に残柱式採炭法では炭層中に縦横に坑道を切り開いて炭柱を残し(炭柱づくり),次いで採掘(炭柱引き)する。鉱柱はまた保安鉱柱としても設けられる。垂直に設けられるもの(垂直鉱柱),水平に設けられるもの(水平鉱柱)がある。なお採掘の最終段階では回収(2次採掘)されるが,特に経済上や保安上の問題から回収しない場合がある。
