In some cases, bioavailable metals are absorbed by plants and animals, causing detrimental effects. Although current U.S. mining and reclamation practices guided by environmental regulations minimize or prevent waste rock erosion into streams, disposal of waste rock in places where it could erode into surface drainages has occurred historically.

Polymetallic nodules containing minerals essential to energy storage lie at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In deep-sea mining, a collector vehicle is sent to pick up these nodules from the deep seabed. The vehicle creates a sediment cloud known as a 'collector plume,' seen here in the foreground, that is then carried away by ocean currents.

The iron ore sector made up 15 percent of total exports and 2 percent of budget revenue in 2013. It is estimated that the direct and indirect impact on the economy from the iron ore sector projects will reach 31.3 trillion MNT by 2030. However, the iron ore sector as a share of GDP would just reach 5 percent, its peak point, under the ...

extracted ending up as waste. By contrast, iron mining is less wasteful, with approximately 60 percent of the ore extracted processed as waste (Da Rosa, 1997; Sampat, 2003). Disposing of such large quantities of waste poses tremendous challenges for the mining industry and may significantly impact the environment. The impacts are often more
