The process by which we excavate and recover mineralization and also the waste rock embedded in Earth's crust for profit motive is called mineral extraction. The necessary metals and mineral products utilized in today's life are produced by this mineralization.

There are three ways of mineral extraction : Underground mining, Surface (open pit) mining, and Placer mining.

  • Underground mining techniques are used to excavate higher-grade metallic ores, often more expensive. These ores are located deep underground beneath the Earth's surface.
  • Surface mining is also used for many industrial minerals since the ore is often of low value and was deposited at or close to the Earth's surface.
  • Through placer mining, rich minerals may be extracted from sediments found in modern river channels, beach sands, or prehistoric stream deposits.
