Features: "Mining Handbook" is a large-scale reference book, compiled in accordance with the national policies, regulations, standards, and effective experience from many mines in production and construction, adhering to the principles of comprehensiveness, systematicity, advanced technology, scientific rigor, and especially practicality. In terms of content, it primarily summarizes the rich production, construction, and management experience accumulated by workers in domestic mines, while also incorporating mature advanced technologies and practices from foreign mines, as well as newly emerging, direction-oriented, and practical technologies being researched by Mei Zhengda. In terms of format, it strives to achieve a balance of text, illustrations, and tables; introduces typical examples for easy reference; and concisely explains fundamental theories and related calculation formulas, avoiding unnecessary complexity. "Mining Handbook" is primarily intended for use by on-site mining engineers and managers, but it can also serve as a reference for engineering technicians and faculty and students in research, design, and other departments related to mine production. The entire "Mining Handbook" consists of forty-one chapters plus an appendix, published in seven volumes, with a total length of approximately 6 million words. This volume includes General Principles; Geology and Mineral Deposits; Mine Geology; Mine Surveying; and Overall Ground Layout of Mines.
