Open pit mining also known as open cut or open cast mining is a surface mining method of extracting metallic and nonmetallic ores directly from the uses a series of level surfaces or
· A deep mine shaft An open pit mine In the block caving process of underground mining ore subsides from above into a mine burrow If enough ore is taken out the ground surface subsides into a layer depression known as a glory hole Instances comprise the Climax and Henderson molybdenum mines in the state of Colorado
·Open pit mining does offer some advantages over traditional deep shaft mining Pit mining is more cost effective than shaft mining because more ore can be extracted and more quickly The working conditions are safer for the miners because there is no risk of cave in or toxic gas Open pit mining is the preferred
·Flank Shaft Development If the shaft cannot be arranged at the foot wall because the deposit is restricted by the site topography or engineering geological conditions or for other reasons the flank shaft development can be carried out Fig 3 When the strike length of the deposit is short and the construction scale is small flank
·Shaft mining can be considerably more dangerous for workers Cave ins gas leaks and other health hazards create anxiety on the job Many workers prefer the safety of the surface to conduct their excavations In addition an open pit mine generally integrates large scale hydrology solutions to prevent acid mine drainage
4 ·Also known as Vertical Mining Strip Mining or Shafting Shaft Mining consists of digging the player s own tunnels to expose hidden resources The usual warning for digging applies Watch out for uncorking lava or water or for digging into a deep drop or inhabited cavern This is the same as an Open Mine except player s down path is one
·The open shaft refers to the one that goes directly from the surface to the underground and the blind shaft refers to the one whose outlet is not directly connected with the surface Shafts are generally classified according to their functions mainly including main shafts service shafts combined shafts ventilation shafts drop shafts
·The mining industry utilizes various extraction methods and techniques to obtain minerals and metals from the Earth s crust These methods can vary depending on the type of deposit its depth and other geological factors Common extraction techniques include open pit mining underground mining placer mining and mountaintop removal
mining entities in Zvishavane are poor and practising opencast mining Mtisi 2010 remarks that small scale miners in Zvishavane District are practising open shaft mining as this type of mining does not involve sophisticated heavy machinery expensive to purchase
5 ·Ordinary methods of shaft sinking are not suitable in some cases and special methods have to be adopted under the following conditions 1 Loose or unstable ground such as sand mud etc 2 Excessively watery strata 3 A combination of the above two The special methods are 1 The Piling System 2 Caisson Methods 3 Freezing Method 4

·A Snapshot of China s Coal Progress Three papers presented at the Shaft Design and Construction conference looked at how shaft sinking technology has developed in China in recent years and at the construction of a 30 million mt/y mine—a paper included the chairman said not for its specific focus on shafts per se but as an indication of the
Mining and milling Markus Piro Ksenia Lipkina in Advances in Nuclear Fuel Chemistry 2020 Open pit mining Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface thereby producing an open pit This method is practical and cost effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface within 100 m Underground
·In this study a three dimensional finite difference numerical model of the Jinfeng Gold Mine including surface topography ore body shafts and main faults was built to estimate the shaft
3 ·There are four main mining methods underground open surface pit placer and in situ mining Underground mines are more expensive and are often used to reach deeper deposits Surface mines are typically used for more shallow and less valuable deposits Placer mining is used to sift out valuable metals from sediments in river channels beach
·What is the difference between open cast mining and shaft mining Class 8 Minerals can be extracted by mining drilling or quarrying Fig Minerals that lie at shallow depths are taken out by removing the surface layer; this is known as open cast mining Deep bores called shafts have to be made to reach mineral deposits that lie at
4 ·A mineshaft generating across a large cave All mineshafts have Starting point a 10×10 parlor with an arched ceiling and one to four exits in each direction Corridors some 3×3 tunnels and junctions are supported by planks and places are decorated with torches and long corridors these supports are placed four blocks away
The main advantage of surface mining is that it is easy to set up as there are no tunnels or shafts required However the disadvantage is that the land has been disturbed which may cause environmental problems such as erosion and pollution Open pit mining; Strip mining is when the land is cleared of vegetation and rocks before being
3 ·Mponeng is the deepest level shaft in the world with a depth of 3 891 metres below datum and 2 062 metres below sea level The mine which began producing in 1986 is near the town of Carletonville some 90km south west of Johannesburg The mine exploits the Ventersdorp Contact Reef its primary orebody employing mostly breast mining
·Mining is the process of extracting useful materials from the earth Some examples of substances that are mined include coal gold or iron ore is the material from which the metal iron is The process of mining dates back to prehistoric Prehistoric people first mined flint which was ideal for tools and

2 ·Opencast mining is also known as open put mining open cut mining surface mining and also as strip mining the later term being commonly used in the for opencast mining of coal No mineral is blocked in shaft pillars support of main roadways etc as in underground mining Quick return on capital and early extraction are possible
·The most common surface mining methods such as strip mining open pit mining opencast mining and quarrying start from the earth s surface and keep exposure to the surface during the extraction period Disruption of the surface significantly affects the soil fauna flora and surface water thereby influencing all types of land use
