Underground hard-rock mining accounts for 40 percent of global mining operations but only 12 percent of run-of-mine (ROM) production. 1 Run of mine is ore that is mined and crushed. In this article underground mining refers to underground hard-rock mining; thus, underground soft-rock mining, such as coal, is excluded.

Surface mining purposely exhumes ores at the surface or close to the earth's surface, including open-pit mining and dredging. Underground mining, however, removes minerals such as in hard-rock mining by extracting under the surface and removing the ore (Aryee et al., 2003; Balasubramanian, 2017; Gibria, 2014; Northey et al., 2013).

mineral-rich ore, Rock is removed from deep within the earth, and milled to extract desired minerals. When the ore is exhausted, miners move on leaving behind finely-ground tailings and waste rock above ground, and tunnels underground. Such mining activities expose part of the earth's crust to water, oxygen, and bacteria.
