MINING AND MINING SCIENCE

Mining is an act, process or work for extracting minerals and transporting them to the point of processing or use. During the development of mining industry, the mining engineering problems to be solved most still accord to the past experience. Until recently, the theoritical explanation has been introduced by ultilizing the scientifical accomplishment of geostatistics, engineering geology, numerical method and operational research to form the fundamental of mining technology, that could be helpful to mining engineers to solve the mine design and production problems theorically. But this work is still in a developing stage, an urgent requirement to the mining colleague to devote themselves on its completion.
