The Vietnamese word "khai mỏ" means "to mine" in English. It is used to describe the process of extracting minerals or resources from the earth, such as metals, coal, or other valuable materials.
In more advanced contexts, "khai mỏ" can be part of discussions about environmental impact, economics, and resource management. For instance, you might hear phrases like "đánh giá tác động môi trường khi khai mỏ" meaning "assessing environmental impact when mining."
While "khai mỏ" specifically refers to mining, in some contexts, it may also imply the initiation of a project or exploitation of a resource. However, it is primarily associated with the extraction of minerals.
