Mining Geology: Mining Geology: Principles, Methods, and Applications
About this audiobook
About the Book
Mining Geology explains how geological knowledge supports the discovery, evaluation, planning and responsible extraction of mineral resources. It introduces Earth materials, processes that concentrate useful minerals, and methods used to understand deposits.
The chapters move from mineral and rock identification to structural geology, ore-forming processes, exploration, sampling, resource estimation, mine development, geotechnical awareness and environmental stewardship.
The guide links theory with practical tasks such as recording outcrops, reading geological maps, planning a sampling programme, interpreting drill data and communicating uncertainty.
It is intended as a starting point for diploma and undergraduate learners, geology and mining trainees, and professionals seeking a structured refresher. Use it alongside current standards, laboratory manuals, regulations and supervised field practice.
