Open cut mining is used when the minerals are found over a large area and relatively close to the surface. The open cut mine is dug downwards in benches or steps which slope towards the centre of the pit. To uncover the minerals the land is first cleared of vegetation as when a new building like a house, school, factory or shop is constructed but in the case of open cut mining, the top soil is

The Mining Process. 1. Mining open pit and underground. To define the ore from the waste rock, samples are taken and assayed. Assay results are used to mark out areas of ore and waste rock, which are mined separately. Some of the harder areas require blasting to loosen the rock prior to excavation by hydraulic diggers. Dump trucks haul the rock to the primary crushers in the open pit or to

Open pit mining methods are applicable to mining ore deposits that apex at or near the surface. If the deposit apexes below the surface, the overburden and barren capping overlying the ore must be removed in advance of open pit mining. The removal of this material is known as stripping.
