Underground Mining — Mining that removes ore by tunneling and creating shafts below the surface to reach deep mineral deposits.
Open-Pit Mining — Excavating a large, terraced open hole from the surface to extract near-surface ore bodies (e.g., copper, iron).
Placer Mining — Recovering valuable minerals from alluvial deposits in streambeds or beaches using panning, sluices, or dredges (e.g., gold nuggets).
Strip Mining — Removing successive strips of surface soil and rock (overburden) to expose and extract shallow, horizontal seams of coal or other minerals.
