Subsurface Mining

Subsurface mining is a method of extracting valuable minerals or resources from beneath Earth's surface. Engineers and miners drill deep into the ground to reach ore deposits, then create tunnels and shafts to access and extract these materials safely. This approach is used when resources are located too deep for surface mining or when surface deposits are limited. Proper support and safety measures are essential to prevent collapses and protect workers. Subsurface mining helps obtain minerals like coal, gold, and copper that are crucial for various industries while minimizing surface disturbance.
