 * Delete. Seems just like a neologism fork of mining. Or otherwise non-notable term. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 20:54, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete yes, it's not even worth a redirect. It seems to be someone's needless prolix prefacing of mining. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:27, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: "metal/nonmetal mining" is an industry term; see this Google search. I understand in discussing this with my colleagues yesterday that it has its own issues distinct from other types of mining. The article does need to be expanded, I'll give you that.

 * So it's all non-coal mining? Is that the point, here? I still don't see a topic here. Mining includes all forms of mining. And this is an industry term for all mining, minus coal? At most, it might merit a mention in the main article, and a redirect. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:53, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

 * redirect to Mine safety, and make a mention of this classification there. The term seems to be only used with occupational health and safety in mines, presumably due to a Mine Safety and Health Administration categorization. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:05, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
