What is Strip Mining? Surface mining, counting strip mining, mountaintop removal mining and open-pit mining, is a wide classification of mining where soil and rock covering the mineral source (the 'overburden') are gotten rid of, unlike underground mining (or deep mining) where the overlying rock is kept in place, and the mineral is taken ...

Surface mining. Opencast mining, otherwise known as surface mining consist of three different techniques: strip mining, open-pit mining, and mountain top blasting. In general, the three processes include breaking up soil and rocks via explosives and then removing debris until coal seams are exposed.

Surface mining deposits can be primarily divided as follows: Relatively horizontally stratified deposits with thick or thin overburden. Stratified and vein deposits dipping at angles; greater than the angle of repose of the spoil so that overburden cannot be deposited within the pit.

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 U.S.A. for opencast mining of coal. The overburden and the mineral, coal, are excavated in long strips of a few metres thickness and hence the operations are termed strip mining.

Once referred to as strip mining, these surface methods are now generally known as surface mining. Surface mines, open pit mines, and quarries differ in important ways. Surface mines are developed to mine a material (often coal) which lies in a narrow bed relatively close to the surface.

Mining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but exposure to dust and toxins, along with stress from the working environment or managerial pressures, give rise to a range of diseases that affect miners. I look at mining and health from various …

Variants of open pit mining are limited to a number of other surface mining methods, which include strip mining, high wall mining, and quarrying. Strip (open cast) mining is used extensively for the surface mining of important commodities such as coal and phosphate ores. Casting is the process of excavation and dumping into a final location.

Contour strip mining is a method of surface mining used to extract coal that follows the contours along a hill or mountain side. Unlike traditional strip mining that removes vast and flat layers of soil and rock to reach coal seams, contour mining adapts to the landscape's natural curves.
