Dictionary of Mining, Mineral, & Related Terms

The need for a revised mining dictionary is obvious when one considers the technological advances, environmental regulations, and other changes that have occurred since the Bureau's previous mining dictionaries were published. The Bureau had pioneered efforts in this field, beginning in 1918 with Fay's "Glossary of the Mining and Minerals Industry," and continuing to the 1968 publication "A Dictionary of Mining, Minerals, and Related Terms."
