Mining is the process of extracting useful materials from the earth. Some examples of substances that are mined include coal, gold, or iron ore.Iron . ore is the material from which the metal iron is produced.. The process of mining dates back to prehistoric times.. Prehistoric people first mined flint, which was ideal for tools and …

In existing smelters, cylindrical furnaces vary in area from 15 to 27 square meters, and capacities range from 50,000 to 100,000 tons of zinc and 30,000 to 50,000 tons of lead per annum. The zinc-lead blast furnace has the flexibility to accept a wide range of mixed ores and residues, and zinc can bypass the sinter roasting process. 4.

Lead and zinc mining was the Tri-State District's principal economic activity for more than eighty years. Production commenced in Missouri circa 1850. Although some surface mining produced lead shot during the Civil War, the Oklahoma section remained commercially untapped until the Peoria Mining Land Company of New Jersey opened …
