Mining. From Exploration to Rehabilitation
Description
Starting with a brief historical overview of mining, this comprehensive program explores the various processes required to mine an ore. It follows the steps involved from exploration of the raw product, through to the mining process, and then to environmental rehabilitation of the mining site. Four main mining processes are shown: underground mining, strip mining, open pit mining, and solution mining. Interviews with industry experts from Australia's Rio Tinto and Stawell Gold Mines provide clear information on the multifaceted mining process.
