Apr 07, 2017Strip mining and subsurface mining Strip mining (or surface mining) is performed when surface soil and rock are stripped off to reach the mineral of concern. When such operations are done, surface water bodies (lakes, streams, etc) gets acidity. Acid mine drainage occurs when water molecules infiltrates the spoil banks. The water reacts with sulfide minerals to produce sulfuric acid.

Open pit mines can be used in coal mining, and they are used extensively in hard rock mining for ores such as metal ores, copper, gold, iron, aluminum, and many minerals. In a open pit coal mine, the pit bottom would be the bottom mined coal seam elevation, since it is usually feasible to extract multiple seams when surface mining coal.

Abstract. Mining is widely regarded as having adverse effects on environment of both magnitude and diversity. Some of these effects include erosion, formation of sinkhole, biodiversity loss and contamination of groundwater by chemical from the mining process in general and open-pit mining in particular.

Open-pit mining is an extremely effective surface mining technique for extracting minerals, coal and other useful materials that are covered by relatively thin overburden layers. However, it takes the right equipment to penetrate the surface rock and reach the underlying layer in a timely and efficient manner.

Open pit, or open cast, mines excavate ore from the surface creating a hole in ground. Open pit mining is generally less expensive than underground mining. Whether or not a deposit can be open pit mined will depend on the shape and depth of the ore deposit. The main issue for an open pit mine design is the strip

Open-pit mining (also known as open-cut mining or opencast mining) is a type of strip mining in which the ore deposit extends very deep in the ground, necessitating the removal of layer upon layer of overburden and ore. An ore is a type of rock that contains minerals with important elements including metals. The ores are extracted through

Open Pit Mining. Open pit mining is similar to area mining. The technique is common in the western United States (and other parts of the world) where very thick — 50 to 100 foot — coal seams exist. Open pit mines are usually large operations. Production levels may exceed 10 million tons of coal per year.

Open-pit mines that produce building materials are commonly referred to as quarries. People in some English-speaking countries are unlikely to make a distinction between an open-pit mine and other types of open-cast mines, such as quarries, borrows, placers, and strip mines.
