Extractive metallurgy has been defined as the science and art of extracting metals from their ores, refining them and preparing them for use. • The mineral processing operations are Drilling, Crushing & Screening, Grinding, slurry processing, Pyro processing, Material Handling, compacting etc • Mineral processing equipment includes a wide range of machinery and products designed to process ROM stockpile material into a refined mineral unit. These solutions include screening systems, gravity concentrators, hydrocyclones, magnetic separators, filter presses and industrial centrifuges. 4

FABRIKAM The Mining Business I s s u e s I n v o l v e d • The mining and quarry fronts are the starting points for recovery of rock and mineral values from surface and underground deposits. • An important aspect of any mineral processing study is an analysis of how material is distributed whenever streams split and combine. This knowledge is necessary when a flow sheet is being designed and is also essential when making studies of operating plants. • After locating a deposit, additional testing must be done to prove it can be profitable • Mines must obtain environmental permits that must follow a set of standards 5
