As an industrial activity, mining is essential for maintaining the standard of living and advancing the modern societies in which we live. From metals to ceramics and concrete, from fuels to plastics, electrical and electronic equipment, wiring, computers, cosmetics, through roads and other means of communication and many other products and materials that we use or enjoy every day, all of them have their origin in mining activity.
It can be said without any kind of doubt that without mining today’s civilization, as we know it, would simply not exist, a fact that most of us do not even realize.
