Mining Geology

Mining geology is an applied science which combines the principles of economic geology and mining engineering to the development of a defined mineral resource. Mining geologists and engineers work to develop an identified ore deposit to economically extract the ore. The essence of mining in extracting mineral wealth from the earth is to drive an  excavation  or  excavations  from  the  surface  to  the  mineral  deposit. when  the  economic profitability  of  a mineral  deposit  has  been  established  with  some  confidence, ore or ore deposit is  preferred  as  the  descriptive  term  for  the  mineral  occurrence. According to mining market survey,  It  has  been  estimated  that  only  a  fraction  of  1%  of  the  earth’s  surface  is underlain  with  mineral  deposits  of  commercial  value.  From this resource, the United States extracted nearly 60 billion in mineral values in 1997: worth  of  industrial  minerals,$20  billion  worth  of  coal, and  $12  billion  worth of metals.
