  • Description:
    [Mining and processing earth's materials form the basic building blocks from which many technology advancements and products are made. Virtually all metallic and non- metallic products are derived from a substance found in our earth that we blend, mold, extrude, or pulverize into something useful, the mining industry is responsible for the first step of this process: extraction from the ground. Mining particularly coal mining. poses significant risks to both humans and machines. As raw materials are]
