The mine is what?

Minerals ... This term refers to almost everything that is extracted from the bowels of the earth or from its surface. In this article it will be just a question of them, or more precisely, of the basic concepts associated with their prey.

Methods of mining

There are several ways to extract minerals: mines, quarries and mines.

A quarry is an open-air mining. This method is the cheapest. The reservoir with minerals is on the surface of the earth or very shallow, so that, having removed a layer of soil, it is easy to reach it.

The mine is an underground structure that has equipment for digging and mining. This method of extraction is much more expensive, but in many fields this is the only available option.

The mine is the place where precious metals or stones are mined. Often it includes the two previous mining methods - mine and career.

Who works for them?

Most of the mines in Russia are in Siberia. Such names as Kolyma and Magadan, cause bad associations. In these places there is more than one gold mine. Therefore, it seems that mainly people working there are serving sentences with imprisonment. However, it is not. Let's recall the phrase from the film "The Diamond Arm": "Come to our Kolyma!" She was told by a man who was at large, far from Kolyma. However, he was from there.

The opportunity to earn good money. For you?

The invitation to the Kolyma meant that work in the mines, in principle, is available to everyone. However, hard working conditions impose limitations on the state of physical health. The mine is a place where you have to work 12 hours a day, hard work for the benefit of society. But this is an opportunity to make good money. Salary at the gold mines of the Yakutia Territory significantly exceeds the average salary in other regions of Russia.

Working conditions can be called Spartan, because this is a harsh land, and comfort is unlikely to be appropriate. At least this applies to many who came here for work, not for permanent residence. The shift work method is the basis of the labor schedule, which is followed by the mine. This leaves an imprint on the composition of the work collective. In most cases, these are non-local residents. Here they earn and leave. To maintain an uninterrupted production cycle, we need personnel ready to work at any time of the year and in any weather. Therefore, the mine is a place where they often earn their health.

As precious materials are mined in the mines, each facility has a serious system of protection and control. This is understandable, the size of a diamond or gold grains is very small, they can easily be hidden in a fold of clothes, in the mouth, let alone the pockets. Perhaps, therefore, these places have a bad reputation.

In addition, money always attracts not only those wishing to earn them by honest labor, even at the expense of one's health, but also wanting to obtain them illegally. Therefore, the criminogenic situation in the areas where the diamond or gold mine is located is always more tense than in other places.

If you decide to earn money in the goldfields, you will need to take into account the requirements that are imposed on future workforce. In addition to good health, you may need, for example, a certificate of no criminal record. It is also important that you are a good specialist in the profession that is in demand in the mines.
