Mining Technology: Open Cast Mining
An open-cast mine is the extraction of mineral resources on the earth's surface. The soil and a top layer may have to be removed beforehand. If the raw material is exposed, it can be mined by excavators and transported from the open-cast mine by truck or conveyor belt. When rock is mined, the rock must first be released from the composite.
