Mining and aggregates refer to the extraction and processing of natural resources from the earth. Mining involves removing minerals, metals, and other geological materials, while aggregates are materials like sand, gravel, and crushed stone used in construction. These resources are essential for building infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and buildings. The mining process typically includes exploration, extraction, and rehabilitation of the land. After extraction, aggregates are processed to meet specific standards for construction projects. Both mining and aggregates play a crucial role in the economy, supporting industries and providing jobs in various regions.
