Mine Geology Lab

To enable students to identify and classify various rocks and minerals through physical properties, understand geological structures, and interpret geological maps. The lab provides practical skills in recognizing ore deposits, fossil samples, and helps in understanding the geological factors affecting mining operations.

To provide practical knowledge and hands-on experience regarding the construction, operation, maintenance, and safety features of various machines used in underground and opencast mining. The lab aims to familiarize students with the working principles of mine haulage systems, winding engines, drilling machines, conveyors, and other essential mining machinery, ensuring they understand their application, efficiency, and associated safety protocols in real mining conditions.

To provide practical knowledge of the principles and methods of mine ventilation. The lab enables students to understand the measurement of air quantity, velocity, temperature, and gas concentration in underground mines. It also familiarizes them with various ventilation devices, instruments, and safety procedures used to ensure proper airflow and safe working conditions in mines.

To provide practical knowledge about common mine hazards and their prevention. The lab trains students in the use of safety equipment, emergency procedures, and safety regulations to ensure safe mining operations.
To familiarize students with the use and operation of safety equipment and rescue devices, including:
Flame safety lamp, Gas detectors, Self-rescue apparatus, Breathing apparatus, Fire extinguishers.

To develop practical skills in measuring, recording, and mapping the surface and underground features of mines using various surveying instruments. The lab enables students to perform mine surveys accurately and understand their role in planning, development, and safety of mining operations.
