| Exploratory work | Mining | Mining operations to determine the size of a deposit, and also its character along the strike as well as its dip. This is done by making drives and inclines. These openings follow the deposit both in strike and dip. They are designed in such a way so as to make it possible to use them for mining proper should the exploration turn out favorably. Syn: exploration. (references) | |
