Borehole mining is applied from vertical, horizontal and deviated wells.

Borehole mining is also used in exploration, oil, gas and water stimulation, underground storage construction and drainage.

A borehole is drilled from land surface to a desired depth, where then actual borehole mining will take place.

The tool is lowered into a well until the hydromonitor reaches the required depth where the actual borehole mining is started.

Uranium ore is mined in several ways: by open pit, underground, in-situ leaching, and borehole mining (see uranium mining).

Borehole Mining (BHM) is a remote operated method of extracting (mining) mineral resources through boreholes by means of high pressure water jets.

In oil drilling and borehole mining, a casing shoe or guide shoe is a bull-nose shaped device which is attached to the bottom of the casing string.
