Surface mining allows extraction of ores that are close to Earth's surface. Overlying rock is blasted and the rock that contains the valuable minerals is placed in a truck and taken to a refinery. As pictured in Figure below, surface mining includes open-pit mining and mountaintop removal. Other methods of surface mining include strip mining ...

Underground mining. Underground or "deep" mining consist mostly of two methods - room-and-pillar and longwall mining. In room-and-pillar, coal deposits are mined by cutting a network of "rooms" into the coal seam and leaving behind "pillars" of coal to support the roof of the mine. The coal is extracted in two phases, first with the ...

Open-pit mining is a method that is often used when large quantities of near-surface ore are mined. Coal and metals such as gold and copper are mined using the open- pit method. In an open-pit mine, the ore is mined downward, layer by layer. First, explosives are used, if needed, to break up the ore.
