35 Marble Marble is a ''minor mineral'' as defined in Clause (e) of Section 3 of Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957. The term "marble" is derived from the Latin word Murmur which in turn is said to have been coined from Greek word Marmorous, meaning shining stone. It is known for its pleasant colours, smooth and uniform texture, moderate hardness, amenability …
Conventional mining is unsustainable for any of the deposits because to increased mining and processing losses, despite decreased mining costs. Uncontrolled blasting in traditional mining can cause micro- and macro-cracks in both blasted and unblasted rock formations.

Mining marble and granite is a detailed and systematic process that requires a range of specialized equipment and machinery to efficiently and safely extract, transport, and process …
The wonders of marble mining The mining process begins with the clearing of vegetation and the removal of topsoil to expose the underlying marble deposits. Then, holes are drilled along predetermined lines using pneumatic or hydraulic drills equipped with diamond bits. Details
What makes marble a metamorphic rock The process of metamorphism creates marble through an amazing geological transformation. Limestone faces extreme heat and pressure for long periods. The limestone’s calcite recrystallizes to form a dense mass of interlocking calcite crystals. This process changes the original rock completely and wipes out any fossils or sedimentary …
Romblon is a marble haven in the Philippines. It’s the only province in the country that has marble deposits, and it produces 80% of all marbles in the Philippines. The province’s economy depends heavily on its marble industry: many people work in quarries or factories making tiles, sinks and countertops out of these precious stones.

Sub-surface mining consists of digging tunnels or shafts into the earth to reach buried ore deposits. Ore, for processing, and waste rock, for disposal, are brought to the surface through the tunnels and shafts. Sub-surface mining can be classified by the type of access shafts used, the extraction method or the technique used to reach the mineral deposit. Drift mining utilizes …
Unlike other mining operations, marble extraction avoids blasting to preserve the stone''s integrity. Instead, excavators carefully remove the outer layers of trees, soil, and weathered rock to protect the underlying marble deposit.
Mining marble and granite is a detailed and systematic process that requires a range of specialized equipment and machinery to efficiently and safely extract, transport, and process the stones.
