Methodological note
Definition of concepts
- Mining
- Industrial activity involving the selective extraction, by applying mining techniques and the use of explosives, of substances and minerals existing in the earth crust, so that it is economically profitable. Broadly, the term mining includes, besides the surface and underground operations, which occur in the treatment of minerals substances extracted, such as crushing, size separation, washing, concentration, etc., in order to put these substances for sale and conversion, and also the jobs requiring the application of mining techniques or the use of explosives.
