Monazite: A rareearth phosphate mineral. Geology
Monazite Mining. All monazite mining is focused on placer deposits because they are easier to mine and the monazite is often present in higher concentrations than in hard rock deposits. Other heavy minerals that accumulate with monazite include gold, platinum, magnetite, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, and a variety of gemstones. The heavy sands

Coal Geology Geoscience Australia
Mining. Coal is mined by both surface or ''opencut'' (or opencast) and underground or ''deep'' mining methods, depending on the local geology of the deposit. Underground mining currently accounts for about 60 per cent of world coal production but around 80 per cent of Australia''s coal is produced from opencut mines.
