so a hot question for all you mine nerds: how is iron ore mined from depths? like if i wanted to hit deep seams
bc i know long wall isnt appropriate for that sort of mining and i was wondering like, would you be blasting or drilling or what
@OldRedSun im thinking industrial-scale extraction over long periods of time
Check out historical mining in Germany, maybe?
@pearshapes
how much iron ore do you need? Because it's likely it's going to be similar to coal mining if you look at modern methods that exploit Banded Iron Formations.
