The process of mining doesn’t end at the site. Once processed, the mined material then needs to be sent to the end consumer. This can involve long-haul trucks, rail systems, and even intercontinental shipping, and transportation planners map out how to efficiently move ore from the mine to processing facilities, storage, ports, and beyond.
