Iron ore mining is the process of extracting iron from its natural form, which is found in rocks and minerals. The process begins by removing the topsoil from the area to be mined. This soil is then replaced and compacted to make sure that there is no waterlogging or runoff. The next step is to drill holes into the rock, so that explosives can ...
