Q1 - Module 5 & 6

This document provides an overview of how ore minerals are found, mined, and processed for human use. It begins with welcoming STEM 11 students and includes a prayer. It then reviews what minerals are and their importance before discussing the key learning objectives: describing how minerals are found, identifying different mining methods, and explaining mineral processing steps. The document provides information on surface mining techniques like open-pit and strip mining as well as underground mining. It also outlines the primary steps in mineral processing including sampling, analysis, comminution, concentration, dewatering, and applications. [END SUMMARY]

HOW MINERALS ARE FOUND, MINED AND
PROCESSED FOR HUMAN USE
MINING

Mining is the process of


mineral extraction from a rock
seam or ore –a
natural rock or sediment
containing one or more
valuable mineral.
2 TYPES OF MINING
-SURFACE
METHODMINING
-UNDERGROUND MINING
SURFACE MINING

Surface mining refers to


the removal of the
terrain surface to access
minerals underneath.
EXAMPLES OF SURFACE
MINING
Open-pit mining
Strip mining
Dredging
Open-pit mining

This is the most common type


of surface mining.
Open pit means a big hole (or
pit) in the ground.
Strip mining

removal of soil and rock


(overburden) above a layer or
seam (particularly coal),
followed by the removal of
the exposed mineral.
Dredging

This is the process of


mining materials from the
bottom
of a body of water,
including rivers, lakes, and
oceans.
Underground Mining

-used to extract the rocks, minerals and other


precious stories that can be found beneath the
earth’s surface.
-In underground mining, miners need to create
a tunnel so they can reach the ore minerals.
