The Mining Operations (abbreviation unknown) is comprised of current and former mining and construction personnel from Earth, now serving as a labor force on Pandora. They handle extraction of resources on Pandora such as fuel, certain bio-materials, and unobtanium at sites like the Unobtanium Mine, although they have also been engaged in mining to create materials such as steel and concrete in order to continue their re-colonization. Their mining vehicles are the Bucket Wheel Excavator, the bulldozer, and many other vehicles.
