Copper Mining and Processing: Life Cycle of a Mine - Superfund

Surface mining, which includes strip mining, open-pit mining, and mountaintop removal, removes soil and rock from on top of the mineral deposit. It may begin as soon as the pre-development steps are complete. Underground mining uses shafts and tunnels to access deeply-buried mineral deposits, while the overlying rock is left in place.

Why preconcentrate, and how? - Mining Magazine

This requires the mining and processing of much larger volumes of material per tonne of product. The aim of preconcentration is to remove barren material as early in the process, and at as coarse a particle size as possible, to reduce the amount of material requiring downstream comminution and processing.
