Mining technology refers to the tools, equipment, and techniques used in the extraction of minerals and resources from the Earth's surface and underground. This includes drilling, blasting, loading, hauling, and processing materials such as coal, metals, and minerals. Advances in mining technology have improved safety, efficiency, and environmental impact, with innovations such as automated machinery, remote-controlled equipment, and advanced monitoring systems. Researchers in this field focus on developing new technologies to make mining operations more sustainable, cost-effective, and productive.
