Hundreds of the things that we do each day - from driving a car to watching television or working on a computer - depend on products made from minerals. It takes about 3 tons of coal and 10 tons of nonfuel minerals, elements, and mineral products in the United States per person each year, just to maintain our lifestyle (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1991).

Processing at mining plants requires a delicate balance of physics, chemistry, and metallurgy working in unison to maximize recovery of the tons of minerals processed. In recent years, efforts to reduce energy, ensure chemicals are contained, and reduce carbon footprints now require contribution and collaboration from all organizational levels.
