Advantages of Mining

1. Mining can help us to assure the supply of important resources

2. Important for our technological progress
3. Mining is necessary for many products of our daily life
4. Employment opportunities for many poor people on our planet
5. Can help poor regions to develop and to progress

Mining can help us to assure the supply of important

resources
Una sa pinakaimportanteng benipisyo ng pagmimina is that it can help
us to supply humanity with important natural resources of various sorts.
For instance, numerous industries rely on fossil fuels or on metals in
their production processes.
Without mining, we would simply not be able to produce many
important goods and also our mobility would greatly suffer since we still
significantly rely on vehicles that use fossil fuels and without those
fuels, many of us would no longer be able to commute by car.
Therefore, mining can be crucial to supply us with important resources
that are urgently needed to ensure a high overall quality of life.

Important for our technological progress

Mining is also important to ensure a high level of technological
progress. Our industries rely on natural resources from mining and
without sufficient amounts of resources, our technological progress
would be slowed down sufficiently.
In fact, the countries with the largest amounts of natural resources will
have a huge advantage in the future when it comes to the inventions of
new technologies and countries who don’t have access to sufficient
resources through mining will have a quite hard time to stay competitive
in the fierce global competition.
Mining is necessary for many products of our daily life
You might not know it yet, but numerous products of our daily life had
been manufactured with the help of resources that had been extracted
through mining activities. For instance, many products have to be heated
in order to be formed into shape. For those heating processes, significant
amounts of coal have to be burned.
In order to be able to burn this coal, it has to be extracted by mining
processes. Therefore, many products of our daily life are directly or
indirectly made with the help of mining and without mining activities,
the selection of products that are available to us would be much lower.

Employment opportunities for many poor people on our

planet
The mining industry also provides a high number of jobs for the local
population. Especially in many poor countries of our
planet, unemployment rates are quite high and jobs in mining are crucial
for the local population in order to make enough money to survive.
Hence, especially in structurally weak regions where people don’t have
too many other employment opportunities, mining can also be crucial to
ensure the livelihood for many people who would struggle to survive
otherwise.

Mining Can help poor regions to develop and to progress

In general, mining can also help whole regions to develop and to
progress. If big mining companies settle in poor countries of our planet,
they provide plenty of job opportunities for the local population.
In turn, this also implies that the government will have higher overall tax
revenue. In turn, more money can be spent on important infra structure
projects, which are crucial to improving the overall quality of life of
people.
This can include the construction of roads, hospitals and other things
that are crucial to help people in their daily lives.
