Modern mining techniques are highly mechanized. Huge earthmoving equipment scoops up ore materials and places them in giant haulers to be transported to mechanized processing facilities. Computers control much of the operation from start to finish. Explosives are used to break up rock in manageable chunks for extraction. Underground mining is more labor intense due the close quarters environment, but can still be highly mechanized.
