Methods of Mining:
Underground mines are more expensive and are often used to reach deeper
deposits.
Surface mines are typically used for shallower and less valuable deposits.
Placer mining is used to sift out valuable metals from sediments in river
channels, beach sands, or other environments.
In-situ mining, which is primarily used in mining uranium, involves dissolving the
mineral resource in place then processing it at the surface without moving rock from the
ground.
The method used depends on the type of mineral resource that is mined, its location at
or beneath the surface, and whether the resource is worth enough money to justify
extracting it. Each mining method also has varying degrees of impact on the
surrounding landscape and environment.
Generally, speaking the study of investment of minerals under Islamic Law has been
neglected by the both academics and practitioners. This should be a proper subject to
be taught and to be plasticized in the today’s world.
The concept of the private right of property is an old human problem. Roman law
recognized and adopted the concept of absolute right of property. Thus, the property
right is an unrestricted and unlimited right on an object to use or destroy it in whatever
the owner likes.

The Islamic law is perfect and firstly gives right
to the owner of land the right of ownership of the minerals found in his lands he had
purchased.
But, on other hand The Mining Act of 1872 is
reciprocal to the Islamic law. It says that the person or the firm or the group of mining
have rights to own the minerals that are being found in any land.
Many other acts are presented like labor
Welfare act of 1967, it tells us about mining methods. Islam had given us complete set
up by which in his private he has right of ownership and in Pakistani legal following the
act of 1885, and mining act of 1923, say that they, the owners will be paid for the land
and will be given some extra money by Government to hand over their land to the
Government.
These are the mining laws being followed in
the world now days.
