surface mine
A surface mine is a type of mining operation where the surface of the earth is removed to extract minerals or materials. This method of mining involves an open-pit or open-cast technique, and often includes mountaintop removal. It is used when deposits of commercially useful minerals, ores, or rocks are found near the surface, and unlike underground mining, does not require tunneling into the earth.
