8.2.3.1 Open pit mining. Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be considered for sites that have uranium ores at deeper depths.

Strip mining accounts for about 40 percent of the world's coal mines but in some countries, such as Australia, open cast mines make up 80 percent of mines. Even though it's highly destructive, industry often prefers strip mining as it requires less labour and yields more coal than underground mining.

Disadvantages of open pit mining. One of the main disadvantages of this type of mining operation is the environmental impact it causes. Since cyanide, mercury and sulfuric acid are used to remove the wastewater, groundwater and air are contaminated as toxic dust . This is absorbed by animals and plants.

Mining involves the extraction of valuable minerals from the earth surface. Mining can either be surface mining or sub-surface (underground) mining. Mining not only beneficial to the surrounding community and public in general, but it can also pose a lot of risks to the surrounding community. Let's look at the pros and cons of mining in an area.

For example, except under special circumstances, only underground mining is allowed in NSW, whereas in South Australia both underground and open cut mining are permissible. In Queensland open cut mining is the norm and bulldozers and 20 to 40 tonne excavators are widely used. Exploration is undertaken by surface prospecting and drilling.

In 1943, open-cut mining began in the Telford Basin but was transferred in 1956 to smaller deposits at North Field, where coal was easier to extract. The best coal in these deposits was worked out by 1976, after which operations returned to the larger but deeper deposit in the Telford Basin.

Opencast mining, also known as surface mining or strip mining, has disadvantages that include disturbance of the environment and local ecosystems, exposure of radioactive elements and contamination of freshwater sources. The use of heavy machinery and blasting techniques also create environmental pollution.
