insitu methods. Prior to 2000, mining operations in the Gulf of Mexico region recovered sulfur by a solution mining method, known as the Frasch process, which injected superheated water to melt the sulfur so it can be pumped to the surface (Christensen et. al., 1991). Approximately ninety percent of the uranium mined in the United States

effective for smallscale operations. Most bauxite, iron, and copper ore is mined by open pit techniques, lead and zinc ore are principally extracted by underground mining methods, and precious metals, particularly gold and most notably in the USA and Australia, tend to be recovered in recent years from lowgrade deposits by surface mining.
