Surface mining is a mining method used to extract minerals that are close to the earth's surface. Mining methods for surface mining include: Strip mining. Strip mining removes thin layers of surface material in order to reach the mineral. The layer above the mineral is called overburden, and it typically consists of soil and rocks.
