Mining

Mining encompasses the extraction of ores (iron ore, tungsten, iron mica) and industrial minerals (magnesite, salt, talc, graphite, kaolin, etc.). These feed into an impressive number of end uses from steel production to hard metal tools, paints, plastics, ceramics, pharmaceuticals and building materials.
