Highwall mining differs from continuous mining in that it is carried out by remote control at the surface. Here, an operator, usually located in a cabin, uses a television monitor to control the progress of the continuous miner machine. Highwall mining is often used when excavating an open-pit mine becomes too expensive.

Open-pit mining technology. Open-pit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineral-processing technology has advanced to the stage where very low-grade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.

Open pit mining Mining Methods 5 Open pit mines are used to exploit low grade, shallow ore bodies. However, some pits are quite deep – about 1 km. The mining rate is greater than 20,000 tonnes per day (tpd) but is usually much greater. Some pits operate at a rate of more than 100,000 tpd

Underground mining, where miners tunnel beneath the Earth's surface to extract mineral deposits, is rarer than open-pit mining. In 2014, it made up about 5% of all American mining operations — and has less of an impact on the surface. However, this doesn't mean that underground mining doesn't have an effect on the environment.

There are a number of reasons for this, not the least of which is that the size of underground mining equipment—because of ground conditions, ore body geometry, and other factors—is much smaller than in the open pit. Also, access is much more limited. All of this means that productivity, as measured in tons produced per worker per shift ...
