Mining of metallic ores like uranium is carried out broadly by two methods based on locale. They are (i) surface mining and (ii) underground mining. Surface mining includes mechanical excavation methods such as open pit/open cast (strip mining) and aqueous methods such as placer and solution mining [19, 22]. Underground mining is …

Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be considered for sites that have uranium ores at deeper depths.

Uranium Mining and Processing . The uranium project will be mined via a conventional shallow open-cut truck and shovel operation. It will involve the use of conventional excavators and haul trucks. Operations may include open cast mining using 3m high flitches, following stripping of unconsolidated sandy grits and screes.

Open-pit mining technology. Open-pit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineral-processing technology has advanced to the stage where very low-grade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.

Underground Mining equipment list. Soft rock mines, such as coal, do not require the use of explosives for extraction. These rocks can be cut with the mining tools provided by modern technology. Soft rocks are also salt, potash, and bauxite. In hard rock mines, extraction is carried out by drilling and blasting.

Open pit mining. When uranium ore is found near the surface, generally less than 100 metres deep, it is typically extracted by open pit mining. Soil and waste rock is removed using conventional earth moving processes to access the ore. The walls of the pit are mined in a series of benches to prevent them from collapsing.
