Excavating (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mining

'excavating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mining that I've seen before include "Excavating (ores)" , "Extracting ore etc. from the earth" , "Extracting ores or coal from the earth" , "non-renewable industry" , "Excavating (coal, ore)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Telegraph.
