Mining is a
complex process which results in extraction of minerals and metals.
It is actually digging out the minerals from the earth's crust via
various techniques. This process plays an important role for the
economy growth. The materials mined via this industry are used as the
inputs for services and processes along with consumer goods provided
by other industries as well, like construction, manufacturing,
communication and similar one. Mining
in India also follows the same scenario to make most for
the economy.
Kinds of Minerals focused during
mining-
Non Metallic are
sand, gravel, clay, and other which can be used as chemicals and
fertilizers.
Metallic are the
ores like bauxite, copper, gold, iron, lead, and silver.
2 Types of Mining-
Surface Mining
or strip mining is done when the minerals are near the earth's
surface. This is more cost-
effective and and requires less workers to manufacture same
quantity of ore which can be done through other mining processes.
In this process,
firstly the blast is done with explosives, and then big earthmoving
equipments like draglines and power shovels are used to scoop off
layers of soil and rock which is covering the mineral bed. The
minerals can also be broken if required via explosives.
Underground
Mining is the case where minerals lies deep below the surface
of earth. For making such kind of mine, firstly two or more openings
are digged deep into the earth near the area where there are fair
chances of finding minerals. These tunnels may be either vertical,
horizontal or sloping in shape. While one opening is for ventilation
while other serves as the path for transporting the mined rock, and
also allows miners to move in and out of the mine.
Ishwar
mining is among one of the leading mining
companies in India,
and stood as a pioneer in mineral mining industry with unmatched
quality and high standards from years. We deal in mining and
processing of Pyrophyllite and Diaspore.
