PORTAL_Mining - Wikiparency

# PORTAL: Mining > **Permissions to request up front (house rule, MTN 2026-09-22).** Any agent that works this page — its spine, the worklists at its foot, or its shard — states before its first tool call every permission the run will need and asks for all of them in one round: (1) browser-pane site access, scope *site*: en.wikipedia.org (title and oldid verification), wikitube-3d-microsims.netlify.app (200-checks of players), cdn.jsdelivr.net (library pins), and gutenberg.org / archive.org / ntrs.nasa.gov only if a book is re-fetched; (2) folder access to the vault root (`en.wikitube.io/`) and, for a deploy pass, to `_3d_deploy_stage/`; (3) no `WT!` authorization is needed for this page — it is an ordinary portal — but touching `WT!Space_Mining_In_Minnesota` or its `PORTAL_WT!` page needs MTN's (WIKI_RULES §1, §11); (4) no delete permission — everything here is append-only; (5) production deploy is MTN's: the run stages into `_3d_deploy_stage/<set>/` and hands over the deploy script. Nothing else. **Mining** — prospecting, valuation, excavation, comminution and separation — Hoover, Peele, Agricola and the Delft model — the mine engineer's chain from a hole in a map to a tonne of concentrate, in service of Space Mining in Minnesota. It serves the apex: every section here is chosen for what it supplies to [[WT!Space_Mining_In_Minnesota]]. Thirty sections in six parts, thirty Main articles, one three.js microsim per section, and one hero: **The Pit Line**, an instance of the Master Portal Hero. Index: [[PORTAL_INDEX]] · apex: [[PORTAL_WT!Space_Mining_In_Minnesota]] · hub: [[PORTAL_Centers_of_Excellence]]. **On the spine:** [[PORTAL_WT!Space_Mining_In_Minnesota]] · [[WT!Space_Mining_In_Minnesota]] · the siblings in service (Crosslinks) · hub [[PORTAL_Centers_of_Excellence]]. ## How to read this page The Spine table is the map: one row per section, with the article, the microsim it plays and its build state. The six parts follow as a skeletal outline — one line per section with the sim brief, the equation and the apex sections it serves — for the models that will populate the child articles. Then the shelf, the crosslinks (siblings, the History, Lists and Glossaries of the field), the notes, the gallery, and at the foot the two worklists — the Microsim Worklist and the Article Worklist — in the house row grammar.  <div class="wt-sim" data-src="https://wikitube-3d-microsims.netlify.app/mining/Pit_Line.html" data-title="The Pit Line"></div>  *The Pit Line (MIN-HERO, `mining/Pit_Line.html`, built and gated SHIP 2026-09-22, 36 URL states walked headless with an empty console; the player goes live with MTN's next production publish): a million tonnes in the ground walked through sample, estimate, classify, design, break, haul, hoist on five deposits. Every section below is a stage or a component of it, and a child article embeds the hero locked on its own state (`?body=<id>&stage=<id>&embed=1`) until its section sim ships.* ## Spine | # | Article | Reveal | Microsim | Node | |---|---|---|---|---| | ⊙ | [[PORTAL_Mining]] | three | `mining/Pit_Line.html` — The Pit Line, 36 URL states (`?body=&stage=&embed=1`); **built, SHIP** 2026-09-22, awaiting publish | MIN-HERO | | | **Part I — Finding** | | | | | 1 | [[Prospecting]] | three | `mining/Prospecting.html` — queued (row MIN-001) | MIN-001 | | 2 | [[Geophysical_survey]] | three | `mining/Geophysical_survey.html` — queued (row MIN-002) | MIN-002 | | 3 | [[Drilling]] | three | `mining/Drilling.html` — queued (row MIN-003) | MIN-003 | | 4 | [[Assay]] | three | `mining/Assay.html` — queued (row MIN-004) | MIN-004 | | 5 | [[Ore_genesis]] | three | `mining/Ore_genesis.html` — queued (row MIN-005) | MIN-005 | | | **Part II — Valuing** | | | | | 6 | [[Mineral_resource_classification]] | three | `mining/Mineral_resource_classification.html` — queued (row MIN-006) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-166 | MIN-006 | | 7 | [[Cutoff_grade]] | three | `mining/Cutoff_grade.html` — queued (row MIN-007) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-168 | MIN-007 | | 8 | [[Stripping_ratio]] | three | `mining/Stripping_ratio.html` — queued (row MIN-008) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-159 | MIN-008 | | 9 | [[Mineral_economics]] | three | the apex's `spacemining/Mineral_economics.html` (SMM-028; in the apex queue) — membership, not a second build | MIN-009 | | 10 | [[Herbert_Hoover]] | three | `mining/Herbert_Hoover.html` — queued (row MIN-010) | MIN-010 | | | **Part III — Extracting** | | | | | 11 | [[Open-pit_mining]] | three | `mining/Open-pit_mining.html` — queued (row MIN-011) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-157 | MIN-011 | | 12 | [[Underground_hard-rock_mining]] | three | `mining/Underground_hard-rock_mining.html` — queued (row MIN-012) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-158 | MIN-012 | | 13 | [[Drilling_and_blasting]] | three | `mining/Drilling_and_blasting.html` — queued (row MIN-013) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-160 | MIN-013 | | 14 | [[Rock_mechanics]] | three | the apex's `spacemining/Rock_mechanics.html` (SMM-015; built SHIP) — membership, not a second build | MIN-014 | | 15 | [[Lunar_regolith]] | three | the apex's `spacemining/Lunar_regolith.html` (SMM-014; in the apex queue) — membership, not a second build | MIN-015 | | | **Part IV — Moving** | | | | | 16 | [[Haul_truck]] | three | `mining/Haul_truck.html` — queued (row MIN-016) | MIN-016 | | 17 | [[Conveyor_system]] | three | `mining/Conveyor_system.html` — queued (row MIN-017) | MIN-017 | | 18 | [[Hoist_(mining)]] | three | `mining/Hoist_(mining).html` — queued (row MIN-018) | MIN-018 | | 19 | [[Underground_mine_ventilation]] | three | `mining/Underground_mine_ventilation.html` — queued (row MIN-019) | MIN-019 | | 20 | [[Mass_driver]] | three | the apex's `spacemining/Mass_driver.html` (SMM-010; in the apex queue) — membership, not a second build | MIN-020 | | | **Part V — Processing** | | | | | 21 | [[Comminution]] | three | the apex's `spacemining/Comminution.html` (SMM-016; in the apex queue) — membership, not a second build | MIN-021 | | 22 | [[Mineral_processing]] | three | the apex's `spacemining/Mineral_processing.html` (SMM-017; built SHIP) — membership, not a second build | MIN-022 | | 23 | [[Taconite]] | three | `minnesota/Taconite.html` (PORTAL_Minnesota's section sim, in its queue) — [[PORTAL_Minnesota]]'s row MNR-008; membership, not a second build | MIN-023 | | 24 | [[Smelting]] | three | `mining/Smelting.html` — queued (row MIN-024) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-202 | MIN-024 | | 25 | [[Tailings]] | three | `mining/Tailings.html` — queued (row MIN-025) | MIN-025 | | | **Part VI — People, history and the books** | | | | | 26 | [[Georgius_Agricola]] | three | `mining/Georgius_Agricola.html` — queued (row MIN-026) | MIN-026 | | 27 | [[Iron_mining_in_the_United_States]] | three | `mining/Iron_mining_in_the_United_States.html` — queued (row MIN-027) | MIN-027 | | 28 | [[Fred_Chester_Bond]] | three | `mining/Fred_Chester_Bond.html` — queued (row MIN-028) — supersedes the apex's variant SMM-188 | MIN-028 | | 29 | [[Mining_in_the_United_States]] | three | `mining/Mining_in_the_United_States.html` — queued (row MIN-029) | MIN-029 | | 30 | [[Mining_law]] | three | `mining/Mining_law.html` — queued (row MIN-030) | MIN-030 | ## The six parts (skeletal outline) ### Part I — Finding 1. **Prospecting** — *Main article: [[Prospecting]] · See also: [[Mining_engineering]], [[Outcrop]], [[Gold_panning]].* No prospect, no project: a hidden deposit, a budget of samples and the map that emerges — the RAP swarm and the neutron traverse — `P(ore | samples)` (an estimate).

It is a skeletal outline by design (MTN, 2026-09-22): less advanced models populate the child articles and their sims from the two worklists at the foot, with the hero as the model of the house pattern. 2. **Slugs.** Every article slug is the exact current English Wikipedia title, resolved through the API on 2026-09-22 (redirects followed to their targets, disambiguation and non-existent titles dropped before the spine was fixed); `rev:` on every worklist row pins the revision. 3. **Build state.** The hero `mining/Pit_Line.html` is built and gated SHIP (rendered, zero console, sweep clean, 11 draw calls; `tools/gate.sh`, 2026-09-22) and its 36 URL states were walked headless; it is staged, not deployed — production is MTN's (style guide §12.10: a player replaces a placeholder only after a 200-check). Of the thirty section sims, 0 reuse a player a portal page already carries (none), 6 reuse the apex spine's (SMM-028, SMM-015, SMM-014, SMM-010, SMM-016, SMM-017), 1 reuses a sibling portal's section sim (Taconite → MNR-008), and the other 23 are queued as specs of their own. 4. **One article, several portals.** A section whose Main article is also an apex Main article is a *reuse* row: the apex owns the article and the sim, this portal adds membership (shared contract §1); the same holds for See-also titles the apex already carries. Available reads 0 on this page for the same reason as on the apex: nothing is verified live yet. 5. **Registry.** `PORTAL_Mining` is one of the rulebook package's 53 logical portals (`PORTAL_Mining`); this page is its first local note. 6. **Worklist mechanics.** Rows are claimed, heart-beaten and closed only through the queue tool on the shard (`Style Guide and Worklist/PORTAL_Mining.worklist.md`); a row turns ✅ only with a live URL. The two lists here, the shard and `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/jobs.json` are projections of one record, regenerated together by `build_portals9.py` (kept with the item-9 checkpoint).  ## Play every microsim on this page <p class="microsim-gallery-note">Every microsim linked from this portal's in-service spine. <strong>1 player</strong> — 1 threejs.

Examined: every title against the English Wikipedia API on 2026-09-22 (redirects followed, missing and disambiguation titles dropped before the spine was fixed), the apex spine's rows (for shared articles), the three existing portal pages (for players already carried), the framework's `specs/sims/` (the hero built) and the run's book shelf. Pending/failed: the live 200-check of the hero and of the existing players is not performed — production deploy is MTN's and the sim host was not in this run's approved browser-pane sites (item 10). Last evaluated: 2026-09-22 (this run). Stopping rule: the spine's rows; no title outside them was scored. Published assets and pending work are counted separately. Unknown coverage is not zero opportunity. ### Reader-facing libraries | Library | Available artifacts | Ready jobs | In progress/review | Needs enrichment | Candidates | Failed/stale | Worklist | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| | Three.js (primary presentation; the spine rule, style guide §7.5) | 0 (no current artifact verified live) | 23 (section sims with a brief and a pinned revision) | 3 (The Pit Line, the hero: built and gated SHIP, staged, awaiting MTN's publish) | 14 (16 rows owned by the apex or a sibling portal awaiting that build, 0 existing players and the shared rows awaiting a 200-check) | 65 (See-also variants) | 0 | `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/threejs/worklist.md` | | p5.js (primary presentation) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 — 0 found within this scan: the spine rule routes every section sim to three.js | 0 | `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/p5js/worklist.md` | | Native portrait (asset, no JavaScript) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 (biography rows: Commons portrait, licence and credit not yet verified, §14) | 0 | 0 | `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/native-portrait/worklist.md` | | 30 other registered libraries | Not scanned | Not scanned | — | — | — | — | `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/INDEX.md` (one folder each; the profile's `other` list names leaflet, cesium, d3, mermaid, plotly, tabulator, timelinejs, svgjs as candidates — no job proposed this run) | ### Integration and platform services | Library/service | Approved components | Open work | Blocked work | Consumers | Worklist | |---|---:|---:|---:|---|---| | `libs/wt-hero.js` (integration: the Master Portal Hero) | 1 (the template; nine instances built and gated SHIP across the nine portals) | 0 | 0 | MIN-HERO | `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/threejs/worklist.md` § Integration | | `libs/wt-isru.js` (integration: the ISRU model library, 190 checks) | 1 | 0 | 0 | MIN-HERO and the section sims that name `isru` | same | | `specs/portals/PORTAL_Mining.pack.json` (integration: kicker, palette, camera, `permissions_up_front`; set `mining/`) | 1 | 0 | 0 | every `mining/` spec | same | | `tools/shots_hero.mjs` + `tools/bench.js` (service: the headless state walk and the gate) | 1 | 0 | 0 | the hero (36 states walked, console empty) | same | | `_3d_deploy_stage/deploy_spacemining.sh` (service: stage + MTN's production publish + URL verification, one script for all nine sets) | 0 | 1 (item 10) | 1 (production is MTN's) | the hero and every player above | same | Full index: `Style Guide and Worklist/worklists/PORTAL_Mining/INDEX.md` (resolved local vault path; no public URL is claimed for it).

Lifecycle markers (§11.2) are appended, never edited into the row. `type:` is `hero` (the Master Portal Hero instance), `section sim` (a spec of its own in `specs/sims/`, set `mining/`), `existing sim` (a player one of the portal pages already carries — the row names which — to re-verify), `reuse` (a section whose article and sim belong to the apex spine `WT!Space_Mining_In_Minnesota` — this portal adds membership, never a second build), `variant` (a See-also article's sim, `extends` the section's spec) and, on the Computation page, `brief` (a reviewer-sourced brief with book locators). `serves:SMM n` names the apex sections the row is in service of. The canonical record is `worklists/PORTAL_Mining/jobs.json`; this list and the shard `Style Guide and Worklist/PORTAL_Mining.worklist.md` are projections of it, regenerated together by `build_portals9.py`. ### Microsim To Do #### The hero -
