Abstract. Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone-shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near-surface, nonselective and low-grade zones deposits. It often results in high produc-tivity and requires large capital investments, low operating costs, and good safety conditions.

An open-pit field covers only a portion of the deposit which is allotted initially for mining, Fig. 2.9b, the dimensions of the field are determined by the production utilization (capacity) and age of the quarry. An open-pit field belongs to a system (group) of simultaneously mined fields into which the given deposit is divided, Fig. 2.9c.

Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be considered for sites that have uranium ores at deeper depths.

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.
