Mining

As Mont estate (from Latin mons for Mountain ', adj. Montanist ) refers to those economic and technological sector that deals with the earth's crust and its components as a resource deal as well as a natural condition.

Scope of the mining industry

The mining industry includes mining (matters relating to working with rock), metallurgy (as extraction and processing of ores , earths and salts ) and rock metallurgy (extraction and processing of other non-metallic mineral raw materials):

• traditional mining and metallurgy as part of heavy industry , overlapping process engineering and technical chemistry , especially metallurgy
  • the extraction of mineral raw materials , i.e. the classic mining of the deposits , including the salt extraction ( saltworks ) and the mining of earth, sands, gravel and gravel and other building materials , as well as their primary processing
  • the over- and underground mining methods for other solid, liquid and gaseous raw materials , including the extraction of energy resources Oil and Gas ( Petroleum Engineering ) and geothermal energy (geothermal)
  • the extraction of water from reservoirs
• the industrial and non-industrial tracing and mining of natural resources such as jewelery and precious stones, stone collecting and collecting fossils for scientific and commercial purposes
• the tunnel and construction of underground facilities in the rock ( cavern , underground construction ) and the Department of civil engineering and foundation engineering
• military Mineur - and Sappeurwesen as branch of service of the pioneers
• the landfill and the technology of underground storage of all kinds
• the entire basics of mining sciences ( mining studies ), from mine surveying to mining cartography to materials science , as an interdisciplinary field of theoretical and applied geosciences with technical sciences
• the entire legal matter of national and international mining law , the relevant raw materials policy and the mining regional planning
• the mining history as the cultural history of the mining, metallurgy and saltworks
