A career in Mining
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an ore body, vein or (coal) seam. Materials recovered by mining include base metals precious metals iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash. Any material that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or created artificially in a laboratory or factory, is usually mined. Mining in a wider sense comprises extraction of any non-renewable resource (e.g., petroleum, natural gas, or even water).Mining of stone and metal has been done since pre-historic times. Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials and finally reclamation of the land to prepare it for other uses once the mine is closed.
Education Details & Eligibility:
Mining Technology courses are available in world wide. Many countries offer courses in this field. In Indian Institutes offers Diploma courses, B.Sc and also Bachelor's of engineering degree (B.E) and M.E courses, and also offers Ph.D programmes. Some courses available in this field listed below.
