Open-pit mining, or opencast mining, is a surface mining technique used for large-scale operations. It involves extracting minerals from a pit by removing waste rock and overburden. Commonly used for minerals like copper, gold, and iron ore, requires heavy equipment such as trucks and shovels to efficiently extract the ore.

Copper is usually mined in two ways: open-pit mining and underground mining. Open-pit mining is used for copper deposits closer to the surface. Enormous …
Surface mining, which includes strip mining, open-pit mining, and mountaintop removal, removes soil and rock from on top of the mineral deposit. It may begin as soon as the pre-development steps are complete. Underground mining uses shafts and tunnels to access deeply-buried mineral deposits, while the overlying rock is left in place.
Open pit mining is a technique used to extract copper ore near the earth's surface. Open pit mining is the most widely used technique of mining copper today. It is accomplished by creating and using benches or …

Copper production begins with the extraction of copper-bearing ores in mining or recycling of scrap metal. The ores are processed into copper concentrate, which can be further treated onsite or sold to a smelter. The figures below represent global production and trade of copper contained within ores and concentrates (ICSG, 2015).
steps include mining, concentration, roasting, smelting, converting, and finally fire and electrolytic refining. 12.3.2 Process Description2-4 Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent copper. Concentration is accomplished at the mine sites by crushing, grinding, and flotation purification, resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percent copper.
