The Contour or Bench method of surface or strip mining is usually associated with coal, where a seam or multiple seams are located at a certain elevation or elevations through a mountain or hill. Contour mining allows for the extraction of coal from mountainous areas, where it is not feasible to extract the entire seam, using mountain top

Oct 08, 2019More specifically, mining is used to extract non-renewable resources like fossil fuels, minerals and even water. There are four main methods of mining: underground, surface, placer and in-situ. The type of mining method used depends on the kind of resource that is being targeted for extraction, the deposit's location below or on the Earth's

In all methods of surface mining, first, the overburden is stripped off using earthmovers.Then, bucket-wheel excavators remove the ore, which is loaded into haul trucks with shovel loaders. When the deposit is exhausted, the overburden is refilled in the crater, and the land is restored with the local vegetation.

Surface mining is used to obtain mineral ores that are near the surface. Blasting breaks up the soil and rocks that contain the ore. Enormous trucks haul the broken rocks to locations where the ores can be removed. Surface mining includes open-pit mining, quarrying, and strip mining.

Surface Mining. Oil recovery in the oil sands uses two main methods: mining or in situ, depending on how deep the oil sands deposits are. Surface mining is used when oil sands deposits lie within 70 meters (200 feet) of the earth's surface. Twenty per cent of oil sands reserves are close enough to the surface to be mined.
