     Ore closed to the surface ground is mined by open pit techniques. Waste
rock is then separated from ore by loading and trucked to the waste dump in-
stead of the concentrator. Ore bodies contained in rock deeply below the surface
are exploited by underground mining, and here techniques are more complex.
     The mining method adapts to the ore body and rock conditions, shape, di-
mensions, strength and stability. The task is maximum recovery and at the same
time to avoid waste rock. Mining method aims for economical and efficient ore
recovery, also keeping safe working conditions.
