Mining companies provide mining exploration services. There could be different scopes to the mining operations, but the main objective is mostly drilling for mining exploration to extract different types of mineral. The digging is a specialized process, as the mechanics involve going deep in the earth’s crust. There are different uses of mineral extractions. Some mineral exploration activities are for research and development functions. The digging can take days as the minerals can go way deep. Some companies do mineral extraction for commercial purposes. For instance, mining for coal, rocks, and other elements that are then refined for use for construction and selling commercially.
There are mining companies that hold the licenses to carry out the mining operations in the absence of a mining license, also known as a tenement. Any company that follows the mining operations must do so under the provisions of the mining tenements.
