Are mines often built near mills?

Question

This may seem like a silly question, but I need to know.

Thankyou.

Answer 1

You've got it wrong way round. They discover the mine first and begin to remove the ore, then they build the mill to process it, unless there is another mill already in production that is close enough to make it economically feasible to transport the raw ore to the mill site.

Answer 2

Yes. Gold mines, for example, require stamp mills to crush
ore just raised to a size that can be better worked to extract
valuable content. Gold mines often produce more than one
source of profit. I can recall a gold mine dumping silver ore with other waste rock because nobody immediately saw it
as a valuable. Water pumped from mines was sometimes
utilized to process mineral extract of mills.

Answer 3

I wouldn't have mine anywhere near Heather Mills.

Answer 4

not really mills are built near rivers

Answer 5

Are you asking this because of our recent visit to that mine in Rickmansworth? Though I saw no mill...

Answer 6

both are normally found near a stream or river, when you find them together the mine is usally there first

Answer 7

There is no relationship between the two./

Answer 8

windmills are not necessarily by rivers.

I think you need to define your question more closely

Answer 9

only in corn mines, or wheat mines

Answer 10
