Abstract: The invention provides a mining machine and a method of mining. The mining machine includes a body, an arm mounted on the body for angular displacement relative to the body, a mining head mounted on an end region of the arm for rotation relative to the end region of the arm, drive means for driving the mining head to rotate relative to the end region of the arm while the mining head is in abutment with a mining face, and drive means for driving the arm to displace angularly relative to the body, such that, in use, the arm can be driven to displace angularly relative to the body to sweep the mining head across a mining face while the mining head is driven to rotate and in abutment with the mining face, thereby to mine the mining face.
