a) Process of minerals
Mining is a process that involves the research, exploration, extraction, transport, processing,
processing and marketing of ore
All these ore treatment processes are essential to separate the mineral of economic interest
(mineral-ore) from the mineral without added value (ganga).
In this way, the sector can supply raw material with higher quality to the customer, who uses it
to manufacture consumer goods, such as fertilizers and medicines, for example.
Therefore, due to the scarcity of various chemical elements, the treatment of ores facilitates
the use of resources, enables supply, in addition to research on these goods.
The mining process involves the excavation of large amounts of waste rock to remove the
desired mineral ore. The ore is then crushed into finely ground tailings for chemical processing
and separation to extract the target minerals.
There are five stages of the mining life cycle, these include: exploration, mine-site design and
planning, construction, production, and closure and reclamation.
Processo de minerio consiste de uma série de processos que têm em vista a separação física
dos minerais úteis da ganga (a parte do minério que não tem interesse econômico e que é
rejeitada) e a obtenção final de um concentrado, com um teor elevado de minerais úteis.
The mining process involves the activities of research, extraction, transport, processing,
mineral transformation and commercialization of the final product. According to the National
Department of Mineral Production, the steps in the mining process are:
Types of mining
The types of mining refer to mining, which is the technique of extracting ore. There are several
mining methods, which vary depending on the extraction methods that are carried out in the
mines. In a mining area, more than one mining method may be employed
c) Machine selection
hand hammersfor small and light services and drill rigs on tires or tracks for large and heavy
services, Primary Explosives: they are extremely sensitive to stimulus, such as impact, friction,
heat, percussion, or electrostatic sources to initiate their detonation, and because of this they
are used as charge initiators for secondary explosives. vibrating feeders;

The material will decide which machine model is suitable for your machining, material such as
steel and iron requires high rigidity, while aluminum requires less. In addition, some special
materials such as large graphite will have high requirements on machine processing
protection, so the workpiece material is a very important factor in machine model selection.
Another important point is to carry out tests that really prove the efficiency of the actions you
intend to take. Some basic features should be seen, such as:
functionality;
quality;
productivity;
innovation.
For this, it is necessary to know the technical specifics that are important in your processes,
such as the production capacity of each equipment. The supplier must offer materials to assist
you at this time.
You should also make a technical visit that allows you to see the machinery in operation. This is
the time to test and check the equipment's potential when meeting your demands. When
selecting the industrial equipment you will purchase, it is important that you research the
d) Resource management
Resource management is the set of processes for identifying, acquiring and managing a
In this process, the rules related to the entry of new employees are established, from the
opening of the vacancies to the hiring. In some situations, it brings specificities such as internal
recruitment, which prioritizes current employees for open opportunities.
It deals with the necessary documents, stages of the selection process, people involved,
deadlines, etc.
2. Training and developmenIt determines how the company invests in the development of its
employees, from introductory training programs to continuing education programs.
In this policy, the company establishes rules related to eligibility, budget availability, forms of
training (in person or distance), number of hours, etc.
Resource management is the set of processes for identifying, acquiring and managing a
project's resources. There are two types of resources: team resources and physical resources.
Team resources are human resources, that is, the people who provide services
In this step, the project manager and team must define the characteristics and quantity of the
project's human and physical resources.
It serves to define types and quantities of materials, human resources, equipment and
supplies. For this it is necessary:
- Review the availability of resources and the EAP (Project Analytical Structure);
- Analyze alternatives;
At this stage, it is also useful to use accurate metrics to figure out the types of resources that
will be needed to complete the project. Thus, it is possible to map the actual resource
availability for a given role.
This is the step of raising funds internally or externally for the project. It must be remembered
that these resources also refer to the team and physical part of the project.
When resources are raised in the company itself, it is necessary to align management to make
the resource available, which can be the mobilization of teams, materials and even equipment.
Externally, it involves a form of acquisition process to carry out contracts, which may even
include hiring people, if the company did not have the necessary human resources to carry out
the project
