This branch of
engineering deals with the discovery and exploration of minerals refinancing,construction,development,operation,recovery,purification and marketing of crude minerals and mineral products.the mining engineers is trained in
historical geology,mineralogy,paleontology and employs such tools as the seismograph and the magnetometer for the location of ore or petroleum deposits beneath the surface of the earth.The surveying and drawing of geological maps and sections is an important part of the work of the engineering geologist,who is also responsible for determining whether the geological structure of a given location is suitable for the building of large structure such as dams.
