Mining

There are two basic types of mining. Surface mining Sub-surface mining

Mine deposits can be found in two different forms: Placers – the are mixed in with sand, river gravel, and other loose materials Load Deposits – where minerals are found in veins, layers, and in mineral grains found throughout actual rock

Strip mining is one form of surface mining. Strip Mining - YouTube Strip Mining - YouTube

Another form of surface mining is open pit mining. Bingham Canyon Mine
