Preparation mining is an activity preliminary to the start of a series of mining activities. In preparation of this mining early stages of cleaning the area to be mined (Land Clearing) or land that will be on exploration. Land clearing is done in the area of land that has been mapped by removing all trees and shrubs that grow in around the mining area for all equipment used in mining operations can easily fit into the main areas of mining areas, and of course the main factor that needs to be done is to prepare the access road construction for the transport of material toward the processing of minerals
Then that must be prepared also is handling the mine water problem that included the manufacture of the channel, the wells, and waste storage ponds so that water from mining activities that have been polluted due to mining activity can be precipitated into the water tank before heading into the stream of water flowed freely. Channel dimensions, pitting and settling ponds must be made in accordance with the discharge of water used so that mine water is not directly flow or free water to overflow into the existing environment around the exploration area is not polluted so as not to cause environmental problems.
Work done on the ground stripping the cover, usually done in conjunction with clearing by using bulldozers. This work begins from the right is higher, and land cover in the direction pushed down lower so that the tool can work with the help of gravity.
