surface-mine
Surface mining is a method of extracting minerals or other geological materials from the earth by removing the soil and rock layers on the surface, instead of extracting resources through tunneling into the earth. This process can involve several types of activities including open-pit, strip, and mountaintop removal. It's used when deposits of commercially useful minerals or rocks are found near the surface.
