not sure about the relation (multipolygon could maybe do as well). I
guess there is no tags for the single parts yet (ore dump, ...), so a
proposal would be nice to have more detailed minery-mapping. Maybe you
could make a big polygon (or multipolygon) around everything, giving
that the name of the site and some tags to mark it (like
landuse=open_cast_mining / or maybe quarry), and then tag the
individual parts with their actual details. Would you consider the
residential area and the airstrip part of the mining site?

cheers,
Martin
