Underground or hard rock mining is usually involved in the production of metals, whereas surface mining refers to the removal of soil or rock overlying the mineral deposit. Mining machinery requires lubricants for a variety of applications. For U.S. above ground/surface mining, a 31 percent share of mining lubricants consumed as of 2019 were drive train oils. Conversely, for under ground mining, drive train oils only accounted for a five percent share of U.S. mining lubricants consumed. In hard rock mining, the majority of mining lubricants consumed that year were hydraulic oils, accounting for a 65 percent share.
