ContactEnvironmental Impacts Commonly Associated with Mining and Quarrying Deep mining refers to the extraction of deep-lying mineral resources such as coal from subsurface workings. It usually involves driving a vertical shaft from the surface to the level of the mineral deposits, which are then accessed by means of horizontal tunnels.
