Catch ditches are one of the most cost effective rock fall protection measures used in open pit. The ditch, placed along ramps and at the top of the high walls, should be covered by a layer of gravel in order to absorb the energy of falling rocks and it should have an adequate dimension determined by field tests and American modelling.

Uranium Ore (Carnotite). Milling: This process takes place at a mill after the ore containing uranium is removed from the Earth through open pit or underground mining.The ore is brought to a mill, crushed, and ground up before chemicals are added to dissolve the uranium. The uranium is then separated from the chemical solution, solidified, dried and packaged.

Rock or Solid Mine Waste. Open pit mining has several stages of waste. First, to access the actual seams or veins of ore, the top layers of rock or overburden must be removed. Once the overburden has been removed, the seams can be extracted. When extracting the seams, there is additional waste rock that must be separated from the ore.

The open pit is opening the orebody from the surface by separate removal of ore and associated waste rocks. It is the most economic option for a deposit up to that depth where the economic ratio of ore and waste can sustain.

Open pit mines can be used in coal mining, and they are used extensively in "hard rock" mining for ores such as metal ores, copper, gold, iron, aluminum, and many minerals. In a open pit coal mine, the pit bottom would be the bottom mined coal seam elevation, since it is usually feasible to extract multiple seams when surface mining coal.
