no that's engineering
Engineering geology and earth/rock mechanics are closely related fields of study. Engineering geology focuses on understanding the geological materials and processes in order to assess their suitability for engineering projects. Earth/rock mechanics, on the other hand, deals with the mechanical behavior of geological materials under stress and how they respond to engineering applications. Together, these disciplines contribute to the assessment, design, and construction of safe and sustainable infrastructure projects.
Sedimentary rocks are often used as building materials in construction and engineering. The most common type of sedimentary rock is limestone.
Extraction of natural resources can involve mining as in the mining of mineral resoucres or oil sand material as is the case with the Alberta Oilsand mining operations in Fort MacMurray Alberta Canada.

What are the relationships between mining and geology
Jos Lurie has written: 'South African geology for mining, metallurgical, hydrological and civil engineering' -- subject(s): Geology, Mines and mineral resources
Martin Lloyd Smith has written: 'Geologic and mine modelling using Techbase and Lynx' -- subject(s): Data processing, Mining geology, Engineering geology
Perry H. Rahn has written: 'Engineering geology' -- subject(s): Engineering geology, Environmental geology
Technically none. Herbert Hoover was a mining engineer but he did not have a degree in engineering, it was in geology. Jimmy Carter has a BS degree in science and went on to take engineering classes and reactor technology/nuclear physics and worked as an engineer on submarines.

Some jobs are mining, sculpting gem cutting, selling minerals, geologist, physical geology or enviromental geologist.

Herbert Hoover got a degree in engineering at Stanford- he was a mining engineer of note and worked all over the world in that capacity.
