Mining includes many different technologies used in searching and exploiting mineral resources in the form useful for their further use. Apart from obviously associated with mining underground mining enterprises (hard coal, lignite, metal ores, chemical resources), the objects running mining activities also include: open cast mines (hard coal, lignite, metal ores, sulphur, chemical resources), quarries and bore-hole mines (water, mineral waters, natural gas, oil, salt, sulphur). Mining technologies are also applied in searching for and identifying deposits and in tank-free storing of resources and wastes in the rock mass.
