Pits and Pit Community

Pits and Pit Communities refer to specific areas within an industrial or mining site where materials like minerals or ores are extracted, processed, or stored. A "pit" is a designated excavation zone or open cavity, often deep and large, used to reach underground resources. A "pit community" encompasses the workers, operations, and infrastructure associated with that area. These communities are integral to industrial activities, involving coordinated efforts for extraction and management, and are often surrounded by support facilities, housing, and services supporting the workers and operations involved in resource development.
