A mining apparatus for installing bolts into a mine entry, said apparatus including:
- a frame having a forward end, rearward end and lateral sides;
- an upstanding bolter support wall attached to said forward end of said frame;
- a laterally extending guide frame mounted to said support wall which extends along a lateral plane which is generally parallel to the support wall;
- at least three bolting rigs mounted to the support wall including at least one central bolting rig and at least two side bolting rigs on opposite sides of the central bolting rig, the side bolting rigs each being mounted on laterally extending guide frames and being noveable relative to the support wall along said lateral plane, and translation means or selectively moving the bolting rig laterally along the guide frame relative to the support wall.
