  • Exploitation minière
CONT

Un processus minier se déroule souvent en plusieurs étapes. Dans un premier temps, le matériau du sol est extrait, puis les minéraux sont libérés, séparés et concentrés. La nature de ces étapes varie en fonction de la composition, de la dureté et de la texture de la roche, de la géométrie et de la localisation du minerai, de l'environnement local, des exigences légales et économiques, et d'autres considérations.
