Underground Mining

Underground mining is a method used to extract valuable minerals and resources buried deep beneath the Earth's surface. Unlike surface mining, which removes soil and rock layers, underground mining involves creating tunnels or shafts to reach mineral deposits. This technique is employed for resources like coal, gold, and diamonds. Safety is a priority, as miners work in confined spaces and must manage risks such as cave-ins and ventilation issues. While it can be more costly than surface mining, underground mining allows access to richer and more concentrated deposits that would otherwise be difficult to reach.
