Square natural marble mining process The process of mining square natural marble typically involves several steps: 1.Locating the Quarry Site: Geologists identify potential sites where quality marble deposits are present. 2.Extraction: Marble is extracted from quarries using various methods, including wire saws, drilling, and sometimes controlled explosives to create a bench wall. 3.Block Cutting: Once a large piece of marble is detached from the quarry wall, it is cut into more manageable square blocks. 3.Transportation: The marble blocks are then transported from the quarry to processing plants. 4.Processing: At the processing plant, the blocks are cut into slabs or tiles, polished, and prepared for commercial use.

Facial Study for The Northumbrian Miner This small study reflects the way I approach the construction of eyes. One of my main influences is Ancient Egyptan Sculpture. It's painted in acrylics on paper which has been glued to a cradled panel, A4 size. #egyptiansculpture #developmentimage #mining #sculptorsdrawings #sculpture #galleryart #proposal #technicaldrawing #acrylicpainting

A stone crusher conveyor is a conveyor designed to transport heavy materials such as rocks, stones, and gravel from one location to another. It is often used in quarries and mines to transport large amounts of material from one location to another.

Mining Short Notes📝 WHAT IS THE DEFINATION OF A QUARRY? A quarry is a place where rocks, sand, or minerals are extracted from the surface of Earth. A quarry is a type of mine called an open-pit mine, because it is open to Earth's surface. The most common purpose of quarries is to extract stone for building materials. Quarries have been used for thousands of years. Quarrying material for use in building materials was much more work. Stones had to be carried or dragged out of quarries manually. Stones could also be hauled with pulley systems involving ropes and moveable wooden tracks or sleds. This process often involved thousands of slaves and other workers.

HARRIETVILLE CHINESE MINING VILLAGE: WHAT WERE THE PURPOSES OF THE STONE SLABS? In Season 4 we focussed on continuing the excavation of one building site, Hut WC1. Scattered across WC1 are a number of stone slabs, including a few examples as large as 500mm to 600mm. Some of these were found on the surface when WC1 was initially surveyed, while others were sub-surface and uncovered in the course of excavation in Seasons 1, 2 and 4. The stones occur both within and beyond the postulated interior of the building, positioned horizontally, and occasionally in small localised groupings, that might be viewed as meaningful. External to the building, the stones could possibly indicate pathways or yard surfaces around the sides of the structure, while those stones lying within the footprint of the building may signify the remnants of floor pavers, or stone pads to support elements of a timber floor. Many of the stones also lie at a shallow depth, not much deeper than the overlying topsoil, and as such their deposition could post-date the abandonment of the building. It is probable that the significance of these flat stones and their relationship to the building, externally and internally, will only be established following extensive excavations across the whole of WC1, resulting in the discovery of other stone groupings that can be jointly assessed. Join us for Season 5 in Nov-Dec 2024, as we continue to explore the Harrietville Chinese Mining Village.

25th July 2024 Visit to black granite lease area located in Battagram (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa - Pakistan) for the resource quality assessment. Black granite (dolerite) has been found in Hazara division abundantly in a few districts e.g. Mansehra, Battagram and Thakot (Allai). The extent of dolerite veins in all these areas is similar - primarily EW, however, little variations in shade and grain size is observable with the naked eye. Slates of Hazara region and Attock are often confused with dolerite as the naked eye observation of both rocks is confusingly similar. Dolerite is an igneous rock while slate is a metamorphic rock of sedimentary origin. I generally term slate as "pseudo-dolerite or pseudolerite" as it's only the look-alike of dolerite and may serve as black granite specially if it occurs in the form of boulders e.g. in Haripur the boulders are fine-grained but when polished with the same pads of dolerite (as per local industry practices), it gives a dull-polished look with apparent fine-grained texture. When the natural sheets (thin pieces separated along natural cleavage planes) of slates are cut and polished, it's difficult to differentiate between slate and dolerite. Btw I personally assessed the slates' boulders of Haripur and slates' sheets of Attock.
