1. The Difference Between Underground Mining And
Surface Mining
The process of removal of essential mineral ores or geological
substances from soil or sand is called mining. These minerals
are of great value and are abundantly available in rocks and
earth’s surface. Minerals can be metallic or non metallic and
can be used for a several of purposes.
Mining is conducted basically in two ways, either underground,
or surface mining. Surface mines, or strip mines, are large pits
where dirt and rock are removed to expose the minerals.

2. Underground mines are large tunnels that are dug deep into
the ground to reach minerals that are too far underground to
be reached from surface mines.
Surface mining can be done on mountain tops or on surface of
the beaches. The surface of the beach is rich with heavy
minerals. Heavy mineral mining is carried out extensively in
Kerala and Tamil Nadu. One of the leading companies that
undertake heavy mineral mining is VV Mineral. VV Minerals
India manufactures mainly four minerals i.e. Rutile, ilmenite,
Zircon and Garnet.
Underground mining is done mainly for minerals that are
embedded deep in the soil, for example coal. Coal mining is a
very economically beneficial activity and contributes greatly to
the economy of our country.
