Depends on the nature of the orebody and mineral assemblage. 1. Huge hole left in the ground. It might be useful though for something. I.e hydro pumpstorage in Queensland 2. Acid generation and toxicity 3. Lower level access potentially for mining...
2019-5-21 The mining industry is able to guarantee constant public security during open-cast mining activities and to offer an effective after-use of the land when the mines are closed. The most important measures to that end are the building of secure slopes and tipping areas, the regulation of water quality and water balance, the creation of an ...
2019-6-6 Strip mining accounts for about 40 percent of the world’s coal mines but in some countries, such as Australia, open cast mines make up 80 percent of mines. Even though it’s highly destructive, industry often prefers strip mining as it requires less labour and yields more coal than underground mining.
Perhaps the biggest is dust loading into the atmosphere, but there are a host of environment impacts; each situation has its own unique aspect with varying degrees of the following, so the impacts are not listed in order of magnitude: Removing nat...
Open pit mining does offer some advantages over traditional deep shaft mining. Pit mining is more cost effective than shaft mining because more ore can be extracted and more quickly. The working conditions are safer for the miners because there is no risk of cave in or toxic gas. Open pit mining

Effects Of Open Cast Mining Mill Gold. Mining is the first link in the supply chain for metals in manufacturing.Material in the supply chain is either from recycled material or mining, with 100 recycled material being the ideal optimum called a circular economy thereby circumventing mining and reducing environmental impacts.However, it will be a long time before we live in a.
The open-pit or open cast mining method is the obvious choice for a property with wide area of mineralization exposed or exists close to the surface and continues to greater depth. The open pit is opening the orebody from the surface by separate removal of ore and associated waste rocks. It is the most economic option for a deposit up to that ...

Opencast mining operations in South Africa remain one of the industry’s main contributors to short- and long-term environmental damage, as they have a direct and cumulative impact on the air ...
Open-pit mining is much safer than shaft mining. In underground mining, the threat of a cave-in or release of toxic gas is a constant concern. When shaft mining was the most common method of ore extraction, thousands died in cave-ins, gas events and accidents involving equipment. In 1907 alone, more than 3,200 deaths related to mining occurred.

2009-7-24 The study aims at assessing the effects on soil fertility due to stripping and stockpiling and evaluating the hypothesis of becoming unfertile. The opencast project under study is the largest project of Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL), Godda District, Jharkhand 8. The mining started in 1980. Target production of coal is 10 million t/y.

Mining is widely regarded as having adverse effects on environment of both magnitude and diversity. Some of these effects include erosion, formation of sinkhole, biodiversity loss and contamination of groundwater by chemical from the mining process in general and open-pit mining in particular. As such, a repeatable process to evaluate these effects primarily aims to diminish them.
Business processes for mining include physical design methods, scheduling collections, expelling and removal of waste materials from the pit. In the United States, there are several open pit-mining projects in operation, extracting daily to support three levels of economics; local, country and global, with commodities worth billions of dollars.

Sand mining is a type of open‐cast mining that provides material for the construction sector in Ghana. The construction sector in the coastal areas of Ghana relies heavily on coastal sand and pebbles in the building of houses, bridges and roads.
The impact of mining subsidence on the environment can occasionally be very catastrophic, destroying property and even leading to the loss of life. Usually, however, such subsidence gives rise to varying degrees of structural damage that can range from slight to very severe. Different types of mineral deposits have been mined in different ways and this determines the nature of the associated ...

2012-12-11 Underground mining has the potential for tunnel collapses and land subsidence (Betournay, 2011). It involves large-scale movements of waste rock and vegetation, similar to open pit mining. Additionally, like most traditional forms of mining, underground mining can release toxic compounds into the air and water.
Chromite mining wastes have the potential to cause serious environmental contamination. This occurs in places around the world where these wastes are inadequately managed. Overburden is an important type of mine waste. Overburden includes the soil and rock that is removed to gain access to ore deposits at open cast mines.

The mining sector has long been mired with issues of unscientific mining, poor track records of environmental and social performance, and high instances of illegal activities. The regulatory environment, and capacity and accountability of our authorities, have also sustained this. Given this, the need to develop a new NMP was a timely proposition.

Opencast mining, also known as surface mining or strip mining, has disadvantages that include disturbance of the environment and local ecosystems, exposure of radioactive elements and contamination of freshwater sources. The use of heavy machinery and blasting techniques also create environmental pollution.
