If initial mining is by opencast methods and ore reserves are proven to greater depths, the pits are often planned to go deeper than originally envisaged. In such cases, surface plants and critical underground facilities -- conveyor tunnels, access ramps, ore passes, hoisting, and ventilation shafts -- are often located much closer to the pit ...

Underground Mining. For rocks and minerals that are below the mining area, a different mining practice is required. Unlike open-pit mining, underground mining methods are used to extract materials beneath the earth's surface. Underground mining presents many dangers, including fires, floods, collapses, and toxic containment.
