All types of mining from copper mining to gold mining to zinc mining.
gold mining
Deep mining of any kind is done in tunnels leading off a vertical shaft into the ground, as opposed to 'open pit' or 'strip' mining. Deep mining is principally done for copper.
Some mining is done by scraping away the soil (dirt) from the top of the ground. This is called strip mining. Some mining is done by going deep underground into a mine shaft. Some mining, such as gold mining, is done in other ways. Gold can be mined by searching in the bed of a river or other stream of water to remove the flakes of gold. This is called panning or placer mining.
