413· What are the advantages of open fuel mining? The increased efficiency of shaft mining is one of the major advantages of open fuel mining. Since mining occurs on the surface, no space restrictions on narrow tunnels or shafts affect the rate of extraction of ore. What is the correct way to mine using open pit techniques?
Overview of Open-Pit Mining: Open-pit mining, also referred to as open-cast or open-cut mining, is a surface mining technique employed to extract rocks or minerals from the Earth through an open-air pit, commonly known as a borrow. Unlike methods involving tunnelling into the Earth, such as long wall mining, open-pit mining is conducted on the Earth’s surface. Key …
