What is Subsurface Mining

what is subsurface mining

Subsurface mining involves accessing minerals and resources beneath the Earth’s surface, rather than on top like with surface mining. This type of mining can be used to extract coal, diamond, gold, and other valuable resources. It typically involves digging tunnels and shafts and using heavy machinery to extract the resources. While subsurface mining can yield high returns, it also comes with risks and requires careful planning to ensure worker safety and environmental protection.
