There are four main methods of mining: underground, surface, placer and in-situ.
The type of mining method used depends on the kind of resource that is being targeted for extraction, the deposit’s location below or on the Earth’s surface and the capacity of each method to profitably extract the resource.
What is mining and its effects?

What is the purpose of mining?
Mined materials are needed to construct roads and hospitals, to build automobiles and houses, to make computers and satellites, to generate electricity, and to provide the many other goods and services that consumers enjoy.
In addition, mining is economically important to producing regions and countries.
