Subsurface mining is the extraction of mineral and energy resources from deep underground deposits. There are two kinds of surface mining, openpit surface mining and strip mining. Iron, copper, stone, and gravel are usually extracted by openpit surface mining, in which a giant hole is dug. In strip mining, a trench is dug to extract the minerals.

Dec 04, 2011 · However, eventually, the shorter mine life becomes too significant and the NPV declines. Looking at the table, you can clearly see that a cutoff grade of 4.0 reduces the relative NPV down to 0.6. Again, remember that increasing cutoff grade reduces your mine life as you "throw away" the lower grade ore in your calculations.
