ABSTRACT:
A well bore is formed which runs down to an underground region having deposits of mineral material to be mined, by installing a casing or a drill pipe into the ground. A piping assembly is placed in the bore hole through the casing and the mineral material comminuted by means of water jet action or by vibratory action of a portion of the piping thereagainst or by both types of action operating simultaneously. The mineral material is mixed with the water in the bore hole to form a slurry which is removed from the bore hole through the piping by sonic pumping action or by virtue of the slurry rising to the surface as the bore hole fills, with oil floating to the top of the slurry material.
