Mining Mining is an economic activity to extract and prepare for further processing of mineral in solid, liquid and gas form. Mining activities are done either above (open mining)or under the ground (closed mining) including quarrying, scratching and mining of minerals solid, liquid or gas form. Products of those are such as crude oil and natural gas, coal, iron sand, tin concentrate, nickel ore, bauxite, copper concentrate, gold, silver, and manganese.
Quarrying Quarrying is an ecconomic activity that covers extraction of all quarried commodities. Quarried commodities are chemical elements, mineral and rock sediment below the ground (excluding metal, coal, petroleum, natural gas and radioactive elements). They are usually used as a standard or intermediate element in manufacturing or construction sectors. Quarrying yields such as stone, limestone, marble, sand, quartz sand, kaolin, clay.
Some activities such as splitting, melting, clearing and all processes of mining and quarrying activities are classified as manufacturing.
The preparation and expansions of a mining area such as road construction, bridge, gimlet, pipeline installation etc. are classified in the construction sector. Exploration and research on the prospect of mining commodities and minerals are included in the mining service sector.
Collection, clearing, and purification of water are included in water supply sector.
The Steps of Mining Activities The Steps of Mining Activities consist of prospecting and general research, exploration, development and construction, exploitation and processing/refinering/purification.
Prospecting Prospecting is a research activity to find the economic minerals.
Exploration Exploration is defined as further activities from prospecting to determine size, shape, position, content and potential amount of mines, ang to study thr feasibility of the finding economic minerals.
Exploitation Exploitation is defined as mining activities to exploit and to deliver the economic minerals to heaving place and processing/refinering unit even to marketting place.
Processing/Purification/Refinering Processing/Purification is aprocess of purifying the minerals to get more valuable minerals by separating them (chemically) from noneconomic minerals.
