CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): The impact of water in surface and underground mining activities is of great concern to Mining Engineers and Geoscientists to the effect that its accumulation in excess quantity can render mining of minerals ineffective. Surface and underground mines must therefore constantly be dewatered in order to forestall over ...

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth. The geological survey agency of Nigeria and the ministry of mines and steel development have reported the occurrence of more than 34 minerals in over 450 locations spread across the entire country, which are in various stages of development.
