What do you mean by mining?

Mining refers to the development and utilization of mineral resources. Mineral resources refer to all kinds of minerals, ores, veins, rock masses and other natural minerals on the earth, including metal mines, non-metal mines, coal and so on. Mining not only refers to the mining of ores or minerals, but also includes the processing and refining process. Mining is of great significance to national economic and social development, and can promote industrial upgrading and technological innovation.

However, mining also has its negative effects. The exploitation and utilization of mineral resources will have adverse effects on the geological environment and ecological environment. For example, in the process of mining, the surface and underground structures will be destroyed, and natural ecosystems such as grasslands, forests and land will be destroyed. At the same time, excavation, transportation, processing and other processes will also produce a large number of environmental pollutants such as dust, wastewater and noise, which will pose a threat to the ecological environment and may lead to serious environmental damage and ecological disaster.

In order to balance the relationship between development and protection, we must strengthen environmental protection and governance, constantly improve laws, regulations, policies and measures, improve technical and management requirements, and promote scientific research, development and application in resource utilization, ecological restoration and circular economy. At the same time, we should pay attention to the cooperation and communication with the public, related enterprises, local governments, non-governmental organizations and other parties, create a good mechanism for public participation and social supervision, and make the mining industry a coordinated development model for promoting economic development and environmental protection.
