Mining is essential for extracting natural resources. However, it is costly, potentially dangerous if poorly managed, and is perceived by some to be an environmentally unfriendly process. This book provides a comprehensive overview of mining technology with case examples and research. Chapters discuss a diversity of topics, including sonic drilling, quality assessment of rock bolts, block cave mine ventilation, microwave radar surveillance, safety management of tailings, and monitoring radon gas in underground mines.
