1. opencut

   Opencut, also known as open-pit or open-cast mining, is a method of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by removal from an open pit or borrow. It is a surface mining technique often used to mine materials that are near the surface, such as metallic ores, coal, sand, and gravel. The method results in a large excavation or "cut" that gradually deepens the mine as the ores or minerals are extracted.
