Mining techniques include two methods: underground mining and open-pit mining. Underground mining involves extracting ore bodies beneath the surface, typically by excavating horizontal tunnels and shafts, followed by ore extraction and transportation underground. Open-pit mining refers to the extraction of ore bodies at the surface and is generally used for shallow deposits. This method includes processes such as blasting, digging, and loading.
