Surface Mining, Industry of Metals, Minerals, Precious ...

Surface mining is a form of mining in which the soil and the rock covering the mineral deposits are removed. It is the other way of underground mining, in which the overlying rock is left behind, and the required mineral deposits are removed through shafts or tunnels.. Surface mining is basically employed when deposits of commercially viable minerals or rock are found closer to the surface ...

Hydraulic Stowing A Solution For Subsidence Due To ...

Underground mining methods are used to extract coal from deep coal seams with an average recovery of about 50% of the mineable reserve in a property. Thus, approximately 50% of the mineable reserve is lost in the mining process. In fact, in farming areas, some additional coal is left in the coal pillars to prevent subsidence of the surface.

Reading: Mining | Geology

For minerals that occur deep below the surface—where the overburden is thick or the mineral occurs as veins in hard rock—underground mining methods extract the valued material. Openpit mines that produce building materials and dimension stone are commonly referred to as "quarries."
