Open pit mining – also called open cut mining or open cast mining – is a surface mining technique used to extract rocks and minerals. It requires large-scale equipment, including shovels and drills. Motor graders also play a role, maintaining haulage roads so that both equipment and mined material can be transported to and from the mines.
