Indeed, mine manually at the start until you have yourself a basic sorter/macerator/furnace system, then build a quarry. It will most likely consume all your spare resources to start with (if using an energy condensor, the only part of EE I use). My first quarry was powered by steam engines. Eventually I made a small solar plant and energy link to slowly power the quarry, then built up better power generation allowing for partial night operation. Then in time, wireless power, and now I have 4 quarries running.
