Chromite ore beneficiation: prospects and challenges
Mining of chromite deposits is being carried out both by open-pit and underground mining. Early mining of chromite was on a small-scale and was relatively straightforward from outcrops or to shallow depths followed by hand sorting. With the increased demand, conventional open-pit mining and mechanical underground mining became necessary.
