mining supply chain

The mining supply chain refers to the series of processes involved in extracting valuable materials from the earth and delivering them to markets. It begins with exploration, where companies locate resources like minerals or metals. Once located, the extraction process involves removing the materials from the ground. The mined resources are then processed to separate useful materials from waste. Finally, they are transported to manufacturers who use them to create products. This supply chain encompasses various activities, including transportation, logistics, and environmental management, ensuring that the mined resources are efficiently and responsibly delivered to consumers.
