The surface mining methods are: (i) open pit mining, (ii) drift mining, (iii) slope mining, (iv) contour mining, and (v) auger mining. The characteristic that distinguishes open pit mining is the thickness of the coal seam insofar as it is virtually impossible to backfill the immediate mined out area with the original overburden when extremely ...Web
