FIELD TRIPS
Field trips are an integral part of ALL
ABOUT
MINING!
We’re planning more than a
dozen exciting field trips to enhance your learning experience.
Accompanied by
skilled professionals, you’ll visit a broad spectrum of
operating projects to gain
hands-on knowledge you can use. You’ll see and learn even more
about geology,
surface mining, quarries, underground mining, milling, steel
making, recycling and
reclamation.
Some trips require
walking and climbing at high mountain elevations, sometimes it
can be arduous, and
some sites may be dusty, noisy or damp.
