Category: What is mining

There are two types of mining: surface and underground. Surface mining is much more common than underground mining.

Underground mining, also known as underground mining, consists of digging or blasting tunnels and shafts into the earth’s crust to reach buried ore bodies. Ore deposits and tailings are brought to the surface for processing at local processing plants.

The economically developed Western countries play a major role in the production of chrome ores, lead, zinc, molybdenum, gold, phosphate ores and potash

Primary processing is often also called beneficiation, which increases the percentage of useful elements in raw materials and reduces ballast.
