A Brief Introduction to the Types of Surface Mining
Open-pit mining is a method in which an ore is removed by digging a pit in the ground, and is used to remove copper, gold, iron, as well as non-metallic minerals. It is normally used when the rock layer above the ore is too weak to allow underground tunnels. In this technique, circular steps, or 'benches', are dug around the circumference

Open Pit Mining. The value of open pit mining operation is primarily driven by ore vs. waste strip ratio. The less waste to move to extract ore, the higher the revenue that open pit mine generates. Open pit slope geometry (or slope angles) is at the core of mine design, it is determined based on rock mechanics principles by geotechnical engineers.
