Opencast mining allows large-scale coal extraction from the earth surface. 2. It ensures high production and lower costs. 3. Large machines speed up the extraction process. 4. It involves removing overburden to access coal seams efficiently. 5. Land reclamation restores the area after mining. #SustainableMining #Energysecurity #MinistryofCoal | Ministry of Coal,Government of India

OPEN-PIT MINE ROCK EXCAVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Open-pit mining and rock excavation using carbon dioxide gas blasting provide a safer and more controlled way of breaking rocks compared to traditional explosives. This method reduces vibration, noise, and fly-rock hazards, making it effective in sensitive environments. Geologically, such excavation exposes the Earth’s structure and resources, but it also impacts the environment by altering landscapes, groundwater, and ecosystems. Controlled
