When we talk about mining, we mean the process of
extracting minerals from the earth as well as from an ore body, vein, or
coal seam. Most substances that are obtained from the earth are recovered by
mining. Mining provides iron for steel making, salt for food, coal for fuel,
and gold, silver, and diamonds for jewelry, stones for building, phosphate
for fertilizer, and gravel for highways and many other such products. Mining
industry as a whole is involved with the entire process of mining starting
from digging, extracting to export and marketing.
While exploration and mining can be conducted by individual entrepreneurs
or small business, most modern day mines are large enterprises and these
enterprises require large amounts of capital for establishment. Indian
Mining Industry is a growing industry in Indian economy. In 1999-2000, it
was estimated that mineral production (excluding atomic minerals) was
approximately US$ 10.26 billion. Over 1.1 million people are employed in
this industry.
