Where does the dirt go when we mine? Nope, it doesn't just vanish! In Alaska, mines are REQUIRED to minimize impact on the land and water and rehabilitate the site to a stable condition as quickly as possible. This takes a lot of planning and includes saving the dirt for revegetating with native seeds and plants that will restore the natural habitat. Dive into how we set a global standard for responsible mining: https://bit.ly/3VCqDwE #LandReclamation #EcoRehab #ResponsibleMining

Human activities often lead to wetland destruction through urbanization, agricultural expansion, mining, infrastructure projects, and recreation development. These activities, if not regulated contribute to loss of ecosystem services provided by the wetland to communities. #Thecostofwetlanddegradation #Protectwetlands

Most folks think of mining as an industry where miners dig into the earth and extract various ores and minerals. It sounds simple, but unfortunately, there are many environmental hazards generated in the act of mining. According to information published by the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Department, “over 300 of the state’s 6,000 abandoned mines pose a risk to human safety and health.” Additionally, there are active mining operations in 29 Montana counties. Every resident should know what environmental damage mining in Montana causes. Various types of mining operations are taking place across the state, and each one comes with the risk of potential environmental hazards. Here are a few examples of how different types of mining can be a threat. #Montana #EnvironmentalPolllution #Pollution #Laws #Lawyers https://lnkd.in/e7NadZ6H

Truly hope that this experimental mining scheme will be shut down. Knowing what we now know, it’s a wholly irresponsible plan that will cause irreparable damage. With aggressive recycling and adaptive reuse we can reduce mining on all fronts
Tomorrow is the deadline for opposing an experimental dragline mining operation on the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp and St. Marys River. A heartfelt thank you to Leonardo DiCaprio and NBC News for showcasing the delicate balance of this unique ecosystem, emphasizing the critical role of water levels, and helping raise awareness of why we need to #SavetheSwamp and #ProtectOurStMarysRiver. St. Marys Riverkeeper urges Georgia EPD to deny permits to mine on Trail Ridge adjacent to the St. Marys River and Okefenokee Swamp. The St. Marys River and its headwaters, the Okefenokee Swamp, are too important to risk with untested mining methods from a company that does not have experience in greenfield mining and has a negative track record of environmental stewardship.

President's Visit (July 17, 2022): Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves visited Crucitas, San Carlos, to assess the environmental damage from illegal mining operations. Environmental Impact: The area is severely polluted, particularly with mercury contamination, affecting water supplies and community health. Illegal Mining: Gold continues to be extracted illegally, worsening the already dire environmental and social conditions. Lack of Infrastructure: The region lacks clean water, proper roads, and sufficient schooling, contributing to violence . Call for Action: The President stressed the need for collaboration between government branches to resolve the ongoing crisis and protect the environment. #crucitas#costarica#illegalminers#gold#pdg https://lnkd.in/gU_592Mq

Indigenous peoples call the place where transboundary wild salmon rivers originate the “Sacred Headwaters.” The mining industry calls it the “Golden Triangle.” A recent expert analysis highlighted that six of British Columbia, Canada’s riskiest massive mine waste dams are located on these transboundary river systems – and are predicted to “destroy ecosystems and/or kill people when they fail.” Tribes, First Nations, and Alaska municipalities are calling for a total ban on mine waste dams and a pause on British Columbia gold mining along Alaska-B.C. transboundary rivers until binding watershed protections are implemented. Let’s work collectively through the leadership of Indigenous communities on both sides of the political border in order to steward these rivers long into the future. Salmon Beyond Borders is an Alaska-based campaign working with fishermen, business owners, community leaders, and concerned citizens, alongside Tribes and First Nations on both sides of the Alaska-B.C. border, to defend and sustain our transboundary wild salmon rivers, jobs, and way of life. Join the movement to defend the rivers that feed us. Learn more and take action at: 🐟 https://lnkd.in/gc6UdZ7c 🐟 👉🏿👉🏾👉🏽👉🏼👉🏻👉 SalmonState

Today we launch Soil Shift with our partners at South32! This open innovation challenge is exploring the generation of soils for mine rehabilitation - if you know anyone working in this domain please point them our way! Link to challenge: https://lnkd.in/gVx9vBZ8 Through this challenge, South32 is exploring new ways that it can deliver high quality soils during the rehabilitation of mined assets within its portfolio. Why? Soil and subsoil are critical in delivering rehabilitation of mined assets as they move into closure activities. A lack of soil or reduced soil quality poses a challenge for rehabilitation, specifically the establishment of vegetation. Thanks to Joseph Morris & Renee van Aardt for their support in getting this live!

Head-hunting high performing exec. candidates and building relationships with clients in the global Building Products, Materials & Construction Industry. 🏗|🛠|🔥|🔎|🔬
Fascinating to see the UK mining industry explore and process Polyhalite for fertilizing purposes. ⛏ 🚜 🌱 The mineral in question contains potassium, sulphur, magnesium, calcium and other micronutrients that are essential to crop growth but, doesn't contain any nitrogen which in excess is one of the major nutrient pollutants currently. From a production point of view, Polyhalite is seemingly more energy efficient needing little to no further processing, separation or chemical treatments after its extraction thus reducing carbon emissions throughout its mining cycle. What are your thoughts on Polyhalite, is it too good to be true? Have you seen any other minerals growing in popularity in the agri & mining space that's helping reduce environmental impact? #mining #agriculture #fertilizers #minerals
