An open pit mine is developed as a series of nested pits, each larger in area than the

previous pit. A pushback is the removal of material required to proceed from one pit to the

next.

What systems do shaft mine use to lacate and extract the ore?

Shaft mines typically use hoisting systems to transport miners and equipment down the shaft and to bring ore back to the surface. Once underground, ore bodies can be located using drilling and exploration techniques. Extraction of the ore is typically done using mining methods such as room and pillar mining or longwall mining.


How was coal extracted from the earth?

Coal is extracted in two methods. One is by digging tunnels into the earth and following the vein of coal, removing it by rail cart. The other is strip mining where they remove the earth above the coal and dig down to it. This way usually involves the removal of entire mountain tops to get at the coal. Recently however they have started to replant the vegetation when they are done to reclaim the land back to a natural state.


How do you get minerals from the earth?

Depends on what the mineral is, and where it is located. Some are mined by conventional surface mining with power shovels, some are mined in underground mines, and some are mined by drilling a shaft, and pumping a solvent (maybe water) into the ground- the mineral is dissolved in the solvent, and pumped back up again. It is then extracted from the solvent.
