Techniques of mining dimensional stones have been making remarkable strides. The objective has been to mine out stones in such a way that the required size and shape of mined blocks is produced with the ciency, safety, and minimum wastage, conservation of reserves and protection of maximum ef erce. Quality and price environment. The demand has been increasing, but the global competition is also determine the competitive edge and both of these are governed to a great extent by the technique adopted in mining. Agood quality natural reserve can be spoilt by faulty method of mining and the cost of mining can also be excessive if the project planning, choice of technique and equipment implementation and client.

Supervision of day to day mining activities are unsuitable and inef It is to be well understood that the production of blocks of large sizes and weight is normally a feature of mining dimensional stones, particularly granites. The other notable feature is that stone mining is essentially by opencast quarrying. As such the method of mining as well as equipment used for the purpose differs considerably from those applied in normal mining of other ore-deposits. Any means which cause fragmentation and irregular shape of mined out material usually done for the sake of higher recovery have to be meticulously avoided.

In fact in some countries it is customary to mine big masses and then split them into sizeable blocks to suit the need to customers. Another mechanical feature which affects extraction techniques is the anisotropy of the tensile strength of ssile rocks such as porphyries and slates are different.the stone. But The scenario is undergoing change with heavy earth moving machinery, mechanized cutting methods taking over and cranes of larger capacity in use. These have the advantage of lesser waste generation, availability of bigger blocks. Excavation methods for hard stones both isotropic and anisotropic are mostly based on a very cautious use of explosives aimed to obtain oriented cracks with minimal damage to the separated stone blocks and the main rock mass.
