Answer:
Mining is extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth usually from an ore-body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposits.
Mining can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining and sub-surface (underground) mining.
Mining done by family members or community which is not under government is called rat hole mining in India. This is mainly done by tribals of north-east India. This is named so because they dig holes similar to that of rat holes to mine.
