Mining
Mining for coal is something that is widely known, but did you know that diamonds, uranium, copper, and other non-renewable natural resources are also mined? There are two types of mining; surface and subsurface. Questions about the methods and types of mining, what ores are mined, and related questions should be asked in this category.

How were the conditions in the laurium silver mines in Greece?
Working in an ancient Greek silver mine was unpleasant at best.
Ore was extracted by hand, with hammers, by the light of candles, with bad air and extremely hazardous conditions, deep underground.
The miner's lives were much like that of Michael Jackson - short, brutish, and nasty.
What are the requirements of a good slag?
Slag is the detritus or remains of some industrial processes for which no use has been found. It is usually dumped and left.
Occasionally a new use can be found, it can the be considered a resource or by-product of the original process.
The plastics industry was created in this way.
How did the victirians get the coal from the mine to the houses and factories?

Difference between Absolute Liability and strict liability?
The distinction between strict and absolute liability can be seen by examining the issue of causation.
For strict liability offenses no evidence of intent or any other mens rea is required. It is however normal for the prosecution to be required to prove causation. For example, in speeding it is necessary to prove the defendant was "driving", but not that he intended to drive faster than permitted, or even that he knew he was doing so.
Just like strict liability, absolute liability offences do not require evidence of intent or mens rea. As for causation, the prosecution only has to prove that the proscribed event occurred or situation existed, then the defendant will be liable because of his status.
So, in the EMPRESS CAR CASE the company was liable for the pollution of the river even though the diesel tap was turned on by an unknown stranger

What type of mining was required to find gold?
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.
