EcologistAn ecologist would do their job first, why? They do their job first because without them doing their job, there is legally no permission for a scientist to do anything that isn't approved. By an ecologist. Scientists don't have the power to explore the mines' unless the environment of the mine and the mine itself is verified. Once it has to been confirmed safe and not a risk to the environment or humans, scientists may start their job.
GeologistsGeologists would be second in line after an Ecologist. Why this happens is because Geologists have to scan the ground prior to digging it up. It could be dangerous for humans and a huge waste of money if a geologist wasn't there. Geologists are in the mining process to lead Engineers to success in finding minerals and materials. They scan the ground with special equipment to detect an ore or precious minerals and materials. Digging around aimlessly can waste millions upon billions and be a safety hazard. They are there to tell engineers where to dig, when to stop and if it's safe or not.

MineralogistsMineralogists in this situation would work all throughout the different phases of a mining operation but mainly before the mine proceeds. A mineralogist indicates whether the minerals out of the mine will succeed or fail during the breakdown of it all. The transaction of solids into a liquid uses a lot of power which costs money. If by any chance a mining operation takes place without the mineralogists checking if it will be worth the money the mining company runs the risk of loosing enormous amounts of money and at worst the closure of the company. If the mineralogist worked all throughout the time of a mining operation it would incorporate mineral sample analysis and that's all.
How they work togetherThe three scientists mentioned above (ecologist, geologist and mineralogist) are some of the most important people to work on a mine site. An Ecologist ensures that it safe to work on the site, for wildlife and humans. This work all has to be done before work begins on the site! A Geologist would make sure that it is safe to dig and they would locate the mineral or material down below. Their job is extremely important just in case there could be dangerous gasses etc. This helps save lives and lots of money. A Mineralogist would handle sorting out which material is what and its origin. It is clear that all scientists are important and without them the human race could be affected.
