Gypsum is typically mined through two methods: surface mining and underground mining. In surface mining, large machines remove the overburden to access the gypsum deposits, which are then extracted and crushed. In underground mining, miners dig tunnels to reach deeper deposits, extracting the gypsum through a process called room-and-pillar mining. After extraction, gypsum is usually processed and ground into a fine powder for various applications, including construction and agriculture.
