Summary Mineral resources – both metallic and non-metallic, are associated with the rocks of the earth crust. These natural products are formed by cooling, crystallization and solidification of mineral-forming fluids. All these minerals are non-renewable natural resource. Once they are consumed, they cannot be created back. Valuable metals, liquid and solid fuels, precious and semi-precious stones etc. are to be searched in different stages of exploration and later exploited by surface and underground mining operations. Exploration, exploitation and environment are interconnected and interdependent phases of any mining project. Depending upon their availability, quantity, quality etc., various mineral-based industries are working at present. They play important role in the progress, development and prosperity of mankind and country as well. Apart from these, mineral conservation and environmental protection should be our priorities.
