Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A labor job involving drilling, blasting, transportation, etc., inside copper mine tunnels to extract copper ore.
Description
Copper miners perform drilling and blasting operations, as well as material transportation inside mine tunnels to extract copper ore. Following drilling plans based on geological surveys, they use drills or excavators to advance through ore veins and crush bedrock with blasting as needed. The mined ore is transported to the surface using rack cars or conveyors and sent to the ore dressing plant. Much of the work takes place in deep underground areas, where safety management for ventilation, drainage, and collapse prevention is crucial. Due to the heavy labor and hazardous environment, teamwork and physical strength are required.
Future Outlook
Due to the decrease in domestic ore deposits, domestic mining sites are on a declining trend, but the demand for mine engineers is expected to be maintained to some extent with overseas resource development and advancements in recycling technology.
