Mining Engineering

Mining Engineering is an emerging branch of engineering focusing upon the extraction and processing of minerals from their natural state. It is intertwined with other engineering disciplines like geotechnical engineering metallurgy and mineral science. It concerns not only the production of minerals but the sustainability of resources as well. The book compiles the diverse practices of mining simulation and mining equipment. It takes into account the exploration discovery and determination of minerals through different techniques. This book covers various methodologies and models involved in the study of mining engineering collated by eminent industry experts and academicians from across the globe.
