Q » What is Strip mining in mining?
31 Oct, 2025
A » Strip mining is a surface mining technique used to extract resources such as coal and minerals located near the Earth's surface. It involves removing overlying soil and rock layers, or overburden, to access buried deposits. This method is efficient for accessing large, shallow deposits but can cause significant environmental impact, including habitat destruction and landscape alteration. Reclamation efforts are often required to restore mined areas post-extraction.
