There are two main methods used in coal extraction: surface mining (above the ground) and subsurface mining (below the ground). Location is the biggest factor in determining what method will be used. Normally surface mining occurs west of the Mississippi river and subsurface occurs to the east.

The primary methods used to extract minerals from the ground are: Underground miningSurface (open pit) miningPlacer mining The location and shape of the deposit, strength of the rock, ore grade, mining costs, and current market price of the commodity are some of the determining factors for selecting which mining method to use.

Mining The ore is removed from the ground in either open pit or underground mines. Underground – sinking a vertical shaft into the earth to reach the copper ore and driving horizontal tunnels into the ore. Open-pit – 90% of ore is mined using the open pit method. Ores near the surface can be quarried after removal of the surface layers. The ore

Surface mining. Surface mining is exactly what the word says - digging rocks out from the surface, forming a hole or pit. In South Africa, this method is used to mine for iron, copper, chromium, manganese, phosphate and coal. Surface mining is also known as open pit or open cast mining. An open pit coal mine.

Extraction Ores are first mechanically crushed and ground so that nearly all copper mineral particles are freed from the gangue. Flotation by the injection of air and violent agitation is carried out with the pulverized ore held in suspension in water, to which surface-active agents have been added.

Open-pit is one of the most common mining methods used and starts from the earth's surface, maintaining exposure to the surface throughout the extraction period. The excavation usually has stepped sides to ensure the safety of the miners and a wide ramp where equipment can travel, allowing the product to be removed efficiently from the site.
