MMG increases asset utilization by at least 10% across the sites standardizing asset utilization across five mines globally.
From insight to action – our integrated operations center empowers collaboration and streamlines your operations for better value chain performance. How does it work?
What are the four stages of a mining operation?
The four key stages of a mining operation are: exploration, development, extraction, and closure. Each phase plays a critical role in ensuring the mine is safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible. Together, they form a complete lifecycle that guides responsible resource management from start to finish.
What is the supply chain of mining?
The mining supply chain includes exploration, extraction, processing, transportation, and delivery of raw materials. It connects resource discovery to end-use industries like construction, energy, and manufacturing. Each link in the chain must operate efficiently to meet global demand while minimizing environmental impact.
How do mining operations work?
A mining operation works by first identifying valuable minerals underground. Then, the site is prepared, the materials are extracted and processed, and the land is restored once mining is complete. Mine operations typically involve cycles of drilling, blasting, loading, and hauling ore to a processing plant, where minerals are separated from waste. Tailings and other byproducts are managed in designated disposal areas to minimize environmental impact.
