Open Pit ⦿ Open pit mining is surface mining in which huge portions of earth are dug from the surface to extract the desired mineral within them resulting in a large pit ⦿ Open pit mines are used when deposits of commercially useful minerals or rock are found near the surface Open Pit ⦿ Open pit mines are usually accessed by surface terracing thereby allowing technological equipment
More than 80 percent of mineral production is done by open cast mining method which ends up in the production of large quantities of overburden The mining leases are standing at 10 000 spread over 21 States and about 13 000 mineral deposits occupying about 1 million hectares or percent of the total land mass Mineral production collectively amounts to about $10 billion Mining activities

· Open cast mining is a type of surface mining in which mineral resources are removed from the earth through large holes or pits dug into the surface The term open cast mining is used most commonly in Great Britain In the United States open cast mining is usually called open pit or open cut mining
Opencast mining or quarrying of minerals is easier than mining by underground methods During quarrying the alluvium and rocks below which the minerals lie are removed and dumped in the initial stages in a place which is not required in future for quarrying residential or other purposes The mineral exposed is completely extracted Opencast mining is also known as open put mining open cut mining
The open pit or open cast mining method is the obvious choice for a property with a wide area of mineralization exposed or existing close to the surface and continuing to greater depths The open pit exposes the orebody from the surface by separate removal of ore and associated waste rocks It is the most economic option for a deposit up to that depth where the economic ratio of ore and waste
