The Project Development Process

This video profiles the different phases of a mining project. These phases include: geology (the study of an earth material one hopes to extract), mineral exploration, mining operations, mineral processing, decommissioning, and rehabilitation of mining sites. It also addresses potential operational issues that can crop up within each phase and unique considerations for various types of minerals being extracted, such as the differences in mineral processing of copper versus coal.
