Staircase mining method - Kaidansaikkuho
Also called step mining. A typical method of open-cut mining. After stripping, the deposit is excavated in steps, 4-25m high and 10-25m wide from the surface. Large machinery and vehicles can be used to efficiently excavate large deposits, but the terrain and geology must be suitable. Much of the copper and iron ore in the United States is extracted this way, and the Utah Copper Mine is particularly famous for this method.
