Mining means digging to find precious materials like gold-silver-metals-gems.
Ruby Mining
coal mining, gold mining
Heavy equipment used for mining any natural resource from the earth is used for mining diamonds.
Cyanides (NaCN or KCN) are not used in uranium mining and recovery, but it is used in gold mining.
Plutonium is not commonly used in gold mining. Plutonium is a highly radioactive element that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons, but it is not typically associated with gold mining processes.
Your answer depends on the type of diamond mining that interests you. The types are Artisanal Mining, Hard Rock Mining, Marine Mining, Open Pit Mining and Placer Mining. You can read about the equipment used in each type of mining below: http://www.allaboutgemstones.com/diamond_mining.html
The answer is either placer mining, strip mining, underground mining, spoil bank mining or open pit mining
An area where most of the land is used for mining is known as a mining district or a mining region. These areas are characterized by extensive mining activities, infrastructure to support mining operations, and regulation specific to mining industry. Examples include the Pilbara region in Australia for iron ore mining and the Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa for gold mining.
Modern mining method..
Gold mining typically involves both surface mining and underground mining. Initially, surface mining techniques such as panning, sluicing, and dredging are used to extract gold from shallow deposits. As the easier-to-access gold becomes depleted, underground mining methods like shaft mining and drift mining are employed to access deeper ore deposits.
The three types of mining -strip mining,open pit mining,and shaft mining
There are five main types of coal mining; shaft, strip, slope, surface, and draft.
