Abstract

Opencast mining is extraction of commercial minerals from the Earth’s surface using open-pit workings. About 60 % of metallic ores, 85 % of non-metallic ores, 100 % of non-metallics, and 35 % of coal are produced by this method. The distribution of mineral resources of the world is shown in Fig. 3.1. Opencast mining impacts the following natural components: (1) condemnation of land; (2) soils; (3) vegetation; (4) animal world; (5) atmospheric air; (6) surface and underground waters; and (7) relief.
