Mining Cycle
This is where the miners dig into the ground and find ore like gold, silver, silicon, titanium anything that is used to make items that we use in our everyday lives.
This is where the miners load the ore that is to be used into a truck with is the moved to a safe location to be blasted.
This is pretty much the extraction or separation between the ore and the useless rock, this phase is used to gain the valuable material from the rock.
Mucking takes place with the blasting, after being blasted the miner then sprays the rock with water.
It is when the drill out the loose rock off of the ceiling and walls essentially smoothing out the rock.
This is where they put the rods into the rock and drill holes into the walls and ceilings
