Moving towards deep underground mineral resources
Underground mining has historically occurred in surface and near-surface (shallow) mineral deposits. While no universal definition of deep underground mining exists, humanity's need for non-renewable natural resources has inevitably pushed the boundaries of possibility in terms of environmental and technological constraints.
What is steel and how is it made?
South African installed capacity on blast furnaces is around five million tonnes of iron per year. They rely on a chemical process called reduction: Iron ore is an iron oxide and to separate iron from oxygen carbon is needed as a so-called reducing agent. In the process it combines with the oxygen and forms carbon dioxide.
