INTRODUCTION
Extraction industries are those which exploit the natural resources of the earth and its waters with
the minimum handling required to accumulate raw materials in a form suitable for transportation or
processing. Extraction industries are characterized by excavations in the earth, mine openings,
derricks, and ponds. Stores of raw materials and piles of waste (tailings) are common.
