Engineers whose defining technological contribution is the extraction of ore, coal or other mineral resources from the ground: mine design and ventilation, extraction machinery, and the surveying and safety methods particular to underground and surface mining. Belongs here: engineers credited with a specific extraction method, mine safety technology or mining machinery design. Does not belong here: what happens to the extracted material once it leaves the mine, which is Metallurgical Engineering for metal ore or Chemical Engineering for a processed mineral product.
