Mining engineers are in charge of planning, designing, and supervising the development of mines and the other related facilities, equipment and infrastructure.
They are hired by mining companies to prepare for mining the minerals, coal or metals from underground or open-pit mines. They work for mining companies, manufacturers. Mining engineering need to have a good understanding of geological, civil, mechanical and materials engineering.
Mining engineers do surveys of a deposits in a area to see if it's good for mining they also determine the environmental benefits and costs of starting an mining operation. They prepare for the mining operations and estimate the cost and length of the operation. They then decide on how to safely and efficiently extract ore from the mine.
Mining engineers are involved in every step of development of a mine, from determining the best method of drilling and blasting, to then creating the shafts, ventilation systems, mine services, haulage mechanisms and other supporting structure to allow miners to safely work and efficiently.
Open pit mines are huge dug out pit in the ground with ramps for truck to pick up ore from drilling machines. Then they drive to the processing plant for ore processing.

Shaft mining is when miners drill ore out of shafts. The ore is then put into a cage that will be hoisted into the processing plant.
