The world's largest open-pit mines are on every continent. They are formed through years-long mining for minerals extracted through open mining. It's one of the simplest and cheapest ways to extract limestone, diamond, iron ore, coal as well as other minerals found in the upper layers of the Earth's crust. These mines are made artificially and exist only as long as they are maintained. Mining minerals in open-pit mines without mine shafts is a method used all over the world. The idea of open-pit mining is that the dead rock layers towards the surface conceal minerals that would be found in horizontal layers in mines.
