Question: What does a mining engineer do? What does a mining engineer do? how much do they get paid approximatly?

Answer: A mining engineer has various roles. Most often they work in a drawing and mine plans office, where data from drill cores and geophysical data is used to build up an accurate picture of an ore body or coal seams. From the gathered data, the Mine engineer plans and organizes the mining of the ore body; they will decide how the ore body is mined (open cast, underground, stopes), where tunnels are drilled and blasted, where the crushing and ore processing machinery is sited and where the tailing ponds goes. Numeracy is required to calculate ore recovery costs and profits and they may need to use AutoCad or specialist mine design software. One specialist niche role is finite element analysis of underground mines, calculating the maximum ore recovering without compromising safety (causing a collapse). The very best job to aim for is a Super Quarry, the biggest operate for ~100 years, its a well paid job for life.
