Open pit mining is considered different from quarrying in the sense that it selectively extracts ore rather than an aggregate or a dimensional stone product. Open pit mining is applied to disseminated ore bodies or steeply dipping veins or seams where the mining advance is toward increasing depths.
Open-pit mining, or opencast mining, is a surface mining technique that extracts minerals from an open pit, commonly used for minerals close to the earth''s surface. It offers benefits such as ease of mass production, lower costs, and reduced safety hazards compared to underground mining. The process involves creating benches for excavation, managing water pressure, and …
