Quarrying Process

Stage 1: Identifying the mine site and planning the map to extract the mines from the operational site.

Stage 2: Remove the top layer of the Quarry site through the overburden.

Stage 3: Drill holes, Insert explosions, and blast the rocks on mining sites.

Stage 4: Transport material for processing.

Stage 5: Process materials using crushing and screening technologies.

Stage 6: Addition of added value to processed materials using additional processing methods.

Stage 7: Transporting finished mining products to customers and partner companies.

Why Quarrying has become a major environmental concern?

A mineral is a naturally occurring substance of chemical composition. They are formed in different types of geological environments, under different conditions by natural processes. They can be identified based on their physical characteristics. The process of extracting minerals from rocks buried beneath the earth’s surface is called “Mining”. Minerals that lie near the surface are simply dug out, by the process known as “Quarrying”. There are two types of quarrying processes done by humans on earth, one is mountain quarrying and the other is river quarrying.
