Contact2019-8-13 underground and open cut mining The Maxwell Underground Project is a proposal to develop an underground coal mine. Underground mining is very different from open-cut mining. • Open cut mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to expose the coal seams, which usually involves blasting to help remove the waste material.

Strip mining is only practical when the miners excavate the ore body relatively near the surface. There are two forms of strip mining, area stripping, and contour stripping. Surface miner machine is essential. Open

Open Pit vs. Underground Mining Methods While most mineral deposits can be mined by either surface or underground methods, some minerals can only be recovered in a hybrid manner, usually by initial extracted by open pit mining, followed by underground methods. Here, a brief comparison is made
ContactOpen-pit mining is the process of extracting rock or minerals from the earth through their removal from an open pit or borrow. Figure 8.8. Open-pit mine [16]. Surface mining is usually used to develop coal seams and deposits of many other minerals, but their feasibilities vary with the nature of the body ore.
