WHAT ARE THE MOST<br />

MINERALS AND META<br />

While there are people who object to mining,<br />

those who support it are actively campaigning<br />

for responsible mining in their areas. The world is<br />

full of resources that we can use to advance our<br />

technology and provide a supply to our daily needs,<br />

so people should see that there is importance<br />

in mining. However, governments and private<br />

companies should only allow practices that includes<br />

rehabilitation of the mine. If they tolerate mining<br />

companies who just leave mines as they are after all<br />

the resources have been taken away, communities<br />

will have to suffer from different consequences later<br />

on.<br />

Minerals mined are used for different purposes, but<br />

they all have one thing in common: everybody needs<br />

them. These minerals are mined and processed<br />

later on so that the public can use them for the<br />

production of the latest technology, for vanity<br />

purposes and even for the toothpaste we use to<br />

brush our teeth with. You see, mining is crucial for<br />

human kind and these minerals mined have played<br />

important roles in our lives now.<br />
