The most common mining in Virginia is the mining of sand and aggregates (crushed stone) usually in the form of limestone or basalt. This is used in making concrete, and in asphalt paving. Virginia has an active coal mining industry in SW Virginia. There has also been mining of metals- iron, copper, titanium, uranium and gold, as well as mining of asbestos and vermiculite.
