Mining is an activity, technology, and business related to the mining industry ranging from prospecting, exploration, evaluation, mining, processing, refining, transportation, to marketing. And is a series of activities within the framework of the search for minerals that have economic value.
In Starting a mining activity there is an initial plan to achieve a target sequence of activities as well as some techniques which can basically cover the activities of prospecting, exploration, feasibility study, which is equipped with the Environmental Impact Assessment, mining and preparation (infrastructure) as well as mining facilities , health and safety, management and environmental monitoring.
Mine planning activities can be divided into 2 main parts groupings:- Strategic planning refers to the overall target, timing, strategy and determine how its achievements, and cost
- Operational planning, mining and processing techniques involving the use of resources to achieve the main goal.
PLANNING :
- long-term plan, which is the planning of mineral Mining Operations with maturities of more than 5 years and its management on an on going basis.
- Medium-term planning, which in the management of mineral resources are running for a period between 1-5 years
- Short-term planning, a planning activity for a period less than a year to support the activities of the smooth medium-and long-term planning.
- Planning supports or alternatives; stats aims to support the possibility of an unexpected or the existence of a change of data and information as well as a constraint that is not on purpose, because they caused a few factors to human error or natural conditions, which can cause failure, it shall be in invent a change in planning
design is the determination of requirements, specifications and technical criteria detailed and is sure to achieve the goals and objectives as well as the sequence of activities of technical implementation. In the mining industry is also known to design the mine which include activities such as the one on mine planning, but all data and information already detailed
In general there are two levels of design, namely:- The Design Concept, which is a starting point the preliminary draft or the draft which was made on the basis of analysis and calculation of a new outline and viewed from several aspects, most importantly, will then be developed to fit the real situation on the ground.
- The design of engineering is an advanced design concept of the draft drawn up with detailed and complete information based on data and information as well as literature research laboratories equipped with state inspection results of the field.The design concept is generally used for technical calculations and determining the sequence of events until the stage of feasibility studies, engineering design while serving as a base reference or a handle of the actual implementation of activities in the field that includes the deadline for mine design, mining stage, production scheduling and material waste. The design of engineering is usually also clarified the design of monthly, weekly and daily.
When the mining industry the relevant conduct integrated activities, it will include benefication minerals or mineral dressing, smelting, refining and marketing
In a mining industry activity always refers to the concept of Mining Environment and sustainable vision, which includes:
- General Survey (prospecting)
- Exploration: a preliminary exploration, detailed exploration
- Feasibility study: engineering, economic, environmental (including environmental impact studies)
- Preparation of production (development, construction)
- Mining (Dismantling, Loading, Transportation, Landfill)
- Reclamation and Environmental Management
- Processing (mineral dressing)
- Purification / metallurgical extraction
- Marketing
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Termination of Mine (Mine Closure)
