Extraction and processing of valuable earth materials
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit. These deposits form a mineralized commodity that is of economic interest to the miner. Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, gemstones, limestone, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel and clay. Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resources such as petroleum, natural gas or even water. However, we mentioned them in the separate chapters.
