Sustainable mining refers to the practice of extracting minerals and resources in a way that is environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically viable. This approach aims to minimize the negative impacts of mining activities on the ecosystem and local communities while ensuring that mining operations can continue to provide economic benefits. Key principles of sustainable mining include reducing waste and emissions, conserving biodiversity, promoting the responsible use of water and energy, rehabilitating mined land, ensuring fair labor practices, and engaging with local communities to support their rights and development.
