1. Provides employment, both directly in the Mining
Industry & also elsewhere as the mine employees spent their income on other things. 2. Provides minerals / metals that can be either exported or, avoids the import of these minerals / metals from other countries. In either way, it helps maintain good foreign currency reserves. 3. Provides infrastructure (roads, electricity, telephone etc) to remote areas of the country where mines are located which are needed by the mines. But when the mines are exhausted, the infrastructure remains that can be used by others.
Negative Effect of Mining 1. Water Pollution 2. Air Pollution 3. Dust and Noise Pollution 4. Deforestation 5. Greenhouse gas emission 6. Mountaintop removal mining Conclusion THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
