Exploitation is often used to generate economic growth. Many studies have found that countries that exploit their natural resources get less economic growth than those that do not (Aubell and Mensah 2007 ). This is because of the environmental harm that exploitation causes. Natural resources are depleting.
Based on the spatial econometric model, this paper mainly studies the impact of the utilization of mineral resources on environmental pollution and the impact of environmental regulation on the utilization of mineral resources in 30 provincial regions from 2003 to 2016, and analyzes the impact mechanism of heterogeneity and synergy. …

With respect to the ongoing discussion on criticality of minerals and metals (EU Commission 2014; Coulomb et al. 2015; Graedel et al. 2015), which is so far based on the consideration of economic vulnerability and supply risks, there is a need to further consider the environmental dimension of mineral exploitation and concentration.
Exploration assessment conducted by the Nigerian Lead-Zinc Mining Company at the Ameri and Nyeba lodes reported a reserve of 693,000 t with an average grade of 9% Pb and 7% Zn (Offodile, 1980 ...
This study determined the views of respondents in Akwuke and Iva mine communities concerning the impact of coal mining activities on animal and plant species, pattern of …
1. Introduction. A mineral can be defined as a naturally occurring element or chemical compound, crystalline in nature, formed as a result of geological processes (Nickel, 1995).They occur as aggregates, commonly referred to as rocks (Oshin, 2003).Minerals can be classified into the following groups based on their composition and uses: metallic …
The paper highlighted several direct environmental and associated problems that emanated from oil exploration and exploitation in the region. Due to occasional oil spills in the study area lands ...
The industrialization of the deep sea is expanding worldwide. Increasing oil and gas exploration activities in the absence of sufficient baseline data in deep-sea ecosystems has made environmental management challenging. Here, we review the types of activities that are associated with global offshore oil and gas development in water …
Discover five ways the mining industry can reduce environmental impact and make its practices more sustainable. 1. Lower-Impact Mining Techniques. Traditional mining techniques can have a severe impact on the environment, and some popular methods — like open pit and underground mining — present some of the most significant …
Smelting can be a major source of air pollution, especially SO 2 gas. The case history below examines the environmental impact of mining and processing gold ore. Figure 5.6.6 5.6. 6 Acid Mine Drainage. The water in Rio Tinto River, Spain is highly acidic (pH = ~2) and the orange color is from iron in the water.

Minerals are inorganic compounds and elements with a regular crystalline structure found in the earth's crust that can be used for a variety of purposes. Resources can often be obtained from minerals or mineral-like matter. This can be broken down into metallic and non-metallic mineral resources. In this definition, the word mineral is used ...
