Ø There is no problem for ventilation, gas emission, explosion, inundation * . Ø There is no need to arraignment artificial lighting during day. Ø High rate of production can achieved as compare as U\G mines and easy to transport the excavated material. Ø Easy supervision is possible. Ø High mechanized is possible. Ø Full extraction is possible no mineral is blocked in shaft, pillar, barrier, support of main roadway etc. Note: - Inundation means sudden inrush of water. B) Disadvantage of Open Cast (O\C) mines.
