Summary
Worker who excavates and extracts ore from silica stone (silica) deposits, then crushes it and processes it through beneficiation to produce shippable products.
Description
Silica stone mining workers, in silica stone (silica) mines, use mining machines or blasting techniques to extract raw materials from ore deposits.
