I toured a hard rock gold mine once and an iron mine too for that matter. Been a miner/operator for almost 40 years, screw that underground stuff 
Yes risky ****.
My father was an old drill airleg operator i remember he would come home with his legs wrapped in towels from the cuts from the rocks hitting them .
We have a lease out of kalgoorlie with a couple of old Caterpiller 3T dozers 1945 ish rebuild 1 engine a couple of months ago after it hydrauliced & bent a rod nothing pushes dirt like them old girls.
Push & detect in Australia you have to rehab with furrows so the seeds catch in them & create regrowth.

I worked a granite quarry for a couple years. I never got to play with the rock drill though. The blasting was always fun though. Let's see what we can blow up this time. Uh oh, that fly rock is heading for the shop!
