Mining includes extraction of metals and minerals, like coal, diamond, gold, silver, platinum, copper, tin and iron etc..
 

Belveder as a tailored process to extract those precious minerals. The process consist of  removing the metal-bearing minerals from the Earth. This process can occur in 2 ways :

1. Scraping  the soil (dirt) from the top of the ground. This is called surface mining.

2. Some mining is done by digging deep underground into a mine shaft.

 

These are the  stages we will deal with :

1) Prospecting and Exploration,

2) Development;

3) Extraction, and

4) Closure/Reclamation.

​

The beginning of any mining project begins with the exploration stage. It's where the magic happens. Companies enlist geologists and others to prospect remote areas in search of mineral deposits. Methods such as geological surface mapping and sampling, geophysical measurements and geochemical analysis is often applied at an early stage to pin out potential deposits.

​

Mine-site design and planning

​

Once mapping and mineral resource data is collected, and the results are strong, the project can move forward to the design and planning stage. This typically consist of studies to help companies determine if and how a project can be safe, environmentally sound, economically viable and socially responsible. 

 

Construction 

​

If you build it, they will come. The construction process occurs after research, permitting and approvals are complete. Construction of mining sites invovles building roads, processing facilities, environmental management systems, employee housing and other facilities. 

​

Production

​

The two most common methods of mining are surface and underground mining. The method is determined mainly by the characteristics of the mineral deposit and the limits imposed by safety, technology, environmental and economical concerns.

The first step in the production stage is recovering the minerals. This is the process of extracting the ore from rock using a variety of tools and machinery.

The second step is processing. The recovered minerals are processed through huge crushers or mills to separate commercially valuable minerals from their ores. 

The final step in production is smelting. This process involves melting the concentrate in a furnance to extract the metal from its ore. The ore is then poured into moulds, producing bars of bullion, which are then ready for sale.

​

Closure and reclamation

​

The fifth and final stage in mining operations is closure and reclamation. Once a mining site has been exhausted of reserves, the process of closing the site occurs, dismantling all facilities on the property. The reclamation stage is then implemented, returning the land to its original state. 

A comprehensive rehabilitation program has many clearly stated objectives which may include:

• ensuring public health and safety

• minimizing environmental effects

• removing waste and hazardous material

• preserving water quality

• stabilizing land to protect against erosion

• establishing new landforms and vegetation

​

To make it happen Belveder will  use innovative technology from exploration to closure of the pits and make sure that we leave the place safe.
