{ edited I misread that.....
That's 20 tons P/hour, and presuming a standard ton (all similar imperial , SAE or ?Soviet) not short ton or long ton or tonne , it would be around or less than one cubic metre 1x1x1 and twenty volumes of this P/hour.
"Possible" with a pick and enough air for the miner but mainly space to swing in without worrying they would kill anyone else !
This last point (space to swing) apart a vein good enough to get that much from (with a double ended pick and a wide enough path inside a vein you can swing back on the other wall side) is probably the biggest factor.
But of essence, what does "mined" mean, when is that point achieved e.g. at the surface,? in the truck?
Note: a 44 gallon drum of water weighs 213kg - forklift license info
What do you actually want with it?
Are you trying to incite coal mining Olympics as an event?
Remains just possible(since the assessing my reading error)
