Contour mining is associated with coal. This bed of coal is located at an elevation in a mountain range or any other hilly area. It is a method of strip or surface mining. It is also referred to as Bench mining. The coal is extracted from a mountainous area where it is not possible to extract the entire seam using mountain top removal mining.

Environmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and ...

The excavation and haulage system of an open-pit coal mine is made up of two primary pieces of equipment: shovels and trucks. Together, they work to dig ore or waste material out of the ground and transport it to the required destination (Darling, 2011, Westcott et al., 2009).Fig. 1 represents the system as a network of roads that the trucks …

Open-pit mining technology. Open-pit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineral-processing technology has advanced to the stage where very low-grade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.

For miners, open-pit mining is safer than tunnel mining—but it's not exempt from risk. Mining tunnels can collapse or burn calamitously, killing many hundreds of miners at a time. For example, in 1942 a mixture of gas and coal dust exploded in the Honkeiko coal mine near Benxi in the Liaoning province of China. As …
