The Process
- A borehole is drilled from land surface to a desired depth, where then actual borehole mining will take place.
- A casing column is lowered down the hole. Since BHM takes place in an "open hole", the casing shoe is located just above the upper border of the production interval (ore body) leaving the rest open.
- The BHM tool is lowered into the hole.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“That which endures is not one or another association of living forms, but the process of which the cosmos is the product, and of which these are among the transitory expressions.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet. Making contact with this Wild Man is the step the Eighties male or the Nineties male has yet to take. That bucketing-out process has yet to begin in our contemporary culture.”
—Robert Bly (b. 1926)
