The mining industry is the economic sector that includes the exploration and mining operations. It relates to extraction of minerals, rare earth metals including, for example copper, iron or gold. Its activity is framed in most countries by a Mining Code (mine surveys). It is an important source of revenue (direct and indirect) of water pollution, air, soil and ecosystems by metals.
The copper mines of Iberian Peninsula were already 2500 BC. Chr. Developed by a Copper Age culture (Los Millares). From here the Bell Beaker people spread metallurgical skills in Europe. In ancient times, the silver mines of Laurion were famous. There slaves worked for the Athens citizens. The Romans exploited the old mines in Tartessos, in Britain and Dacia (Romania) and further developed in other provinces new.
The mining industry has provided the bulk of coal mined since the beginning of industrial revolution (here in an open pit mine. It faces a scarcity of readily available resources, and in case of coal to problem fossil resources in terms of impacts on climate change.
This preparatory work is often performed outside of mining sector, scientific agencies and authorities. By their visibility at the Earth's surface (outcrops) have been discovered - from prehistory to modern times, many deposits - for example veins. A future increasing importance of reduction of deposits in deep sea is obtained.
After exhausting the most readily accessibles3 deposits, and as the demand pressure grows on some rare earth metals and the mining industry often has to use more energy and sometimes take more risks, while often producing more wastes, and sometimes "dirty" waste to extract soil mineral resources. Or you have to get them away, above (in mountains in Andes for example) or deeper under the sea or in basement.
One example is the 200-mile zone called by coastal States. Successful cross-border conflict rules such as the European Coal and Steel Community (as a forerunner of EU), the North Sea oil or the Svalbard Treaty established a stable basis for international cooperation.
A natural tendency is to look for valuable metals (gold, platinum ...) The race for the most sought gold metal ranks first with 47% of global mineral exploration expenditures 4 this rate can be much higher in some countries (over 60% in Quebec in 2005 5. The jewelry would even the first engine of global demand for gold: more than 80% of gold mined each year is transformed .
Basically, an infrastructure must be created in establishment of a mine regardless of type of raw material extraction, which allows the removal. If the mining area - as is often the case today - is in remote wilderness regions, already the construction of roads or railways and the creation of workers' settlements inevitably leads to a far-reaching influence on the natural environment. Experience shows that along the roads over time more plants of various kinds and thus new settlements and other roads arise, at least reinforce the parcelling of natural landscapes and habitat destruction, more and more.
