Overview:
The mining industry involves the extraction of minerals and resources from the earth. This includes activities such as exploration, drilling, blasting, and material transport. Mining operations can occur above ground (open-pit mining) or underground.
Challenges:
- Safety Risks: Mining is inherently hazardous, with risks including cave-ins, equipment failures, and exposure to hazardous materials.
- Operational Efficiency: Efficient management of resources, machinery, and personnel is essential for maximizing output and minimizing costs.
- Environmental Concerns: Mining operations must address environmental issues, including land degradation and water contamination.
