Underground Mines

Underground mines are facilities where minerals, metals, or stones are extracted from beneath Earth's surface. Instead of digging from the top down, mining crews create tunnels or shafts to access these resources deep underground. This method is used when deposits are too far below the surface for open-pit mining or when surface extraction isn't feasible. Key features include ventilation systems to supply fresh air, safety measures to protect workers, and specialized equipment for digging, hauling, and processing minerals. While more complex and costly, underground mining minimizes surface disruption and allows access to valuable resources hidden deep within the Earth.
