Open-pit Mining: A Definition and Guide

Open-pit mining is a non-tunnel mining process providing direct access to minerals and stones close to the Earth's surface. This method of mining involves the use of explosives to create large, canyon-like holes, which are then refined into workable pits using heavy machinery. The open-pit mining process is often done in a step-like fashion.
