According to our analyses, 12,086 terrestrial KBAs (79.8 %) currently contain infrastructure (Fig. 1).Most KBAs contained at least one infrastructure type, with a mean of 2.0 and median of 2 infrastructure types per KBA (Fig. 1).More than one third of terrestrial KBAs (5317; 35.1 %) may have powerplants, mines, or oil and gas in the future (the only …
The long-term supply of nickel to society was assessed with the WORLD7 model for the global nickel cycle, using new estimates of nickel reserves and resources, indicating that the best estimate of the ultimately recoverable resources for nickel is in the range of 650–720 million ton. This is significantly larger than earlier estimates. The extractable amounts were …
Using a lens that combines global production networks (GPN) with insights from informal economy and political ecology research, the authors examine how multinational corporations, …
Ife-East local government area of Osun State in recent time has been experiencing activities of artisanal gold mining which generate adverse impacts on land cover features. In this study, the land use/cover (LULC) dynamics and vegetation index (NDVI) of Kajola Basin, a prominent artisanal mining hotspot within the region was assessed for a period of twenty years …

different landforms present. Make an assessment of approximate percentages of the different types; i.e.: 20 % braided river bed, 5 % scree, 40 % open mountainside above tree line etc. • Include a broad assessment of geology and soil types and drainage patterns
Our study finds that gold lifeways give expression to different strands of sustainability: sustaining everyday life in mining; discourses framing mining practices; and …
then used process-based and empirically tested modeling to produce a global assessment of metal mining contamination in river systems and the numbers of human populations and livestock exposed. ... Various multilink exposure pathways exist for humans to ingest or inhale contaminant metals from mine sites and floodplain soils (6). For example ...
This study analysed 115 Gold Mining Impact (GMIs) research articles published in Web of Science (WOS) with the highest total lifetime citations and citations per year by summarising the trends ...
Local economies can experience significant growth and development as a result of gold mining, bringing about various social implications for communities. ... Gold mining contributes to global economic inequality and wealth distribution by concentrating wealth in the hands of a few, often at the expense of local communities and the environment ...
Assessment Interpretation Figure 1. Fig. 1 Life Cycle Assessment Framework. Source: [2] A. Goal and Scope Definition The Scope of this research is based on the gate-to-gate method, which it is related to the production phase of the gold mining life cycle, and includes excavation and extraction, leaching and processing phases.
Mining for metals produces waste containing toxic elements such as mercury and arsenic. Macklin et al. compiled global data on the locations of active and inactive metal mines and tailings dams, which hold mine …
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is crucial to the livelihoods of close to 20 million people in over 80 countries, including 4-5 million women, mainly in rural areas …
The compilation contains data from around the globe, with samples from six out of seven continents (no analyses were found for South American samples; Fig. 1).There is an obvious sampling bias in this compilation because samples can only be collected from regions with appropriate outcrops derived from the lithospheric mantle, or volcanoes that have …
This regionalized impact assessment is based on the mining area data set of Maus et al 29, ecoregion 30 -specific global species loss factors from UNEP-SETAC 31, and geographic data of the ...
To assess the studies that have been undertaken on GMIs, we used "Gold Mining Impacts" as the search term for the studies published from 1990 to 2018 using bibliometric innovative techniques....
Increasing gold and mineral mining activity in rivers across the global tropics has degraded ecosystems and threatened human health1,2. Such river mineral mining involves intensive excavation and ...
Artisanal gold mining occurs informally and therefore relies on low technologies and extraction methods lacking pollution controls. As a result, despite the fact that artisanal gold mining …
Purpose Gold mining is one of the most generative economic activities in many developing countries. Gold mining operations are generally recognized not only as being too energy and material intensive, but also as a source of pollution, social insecurity, and instability. Faced with this challenge and the challenge of integrating gold mining into the framework of …
Purpose Gold mining has historically and significantly contributed to the Colombian economy. Gold extraction in Colombia is mainly done through two techniques: open-pit and alluvial mining. In this study, the environmental impacts of both these mining systems were analyzed using the life cycle assessment (LCA) framework, including identification of the …
The metals and mining industry could contribute 13 percent of global emissions in 2035. In 2023, total production emissions from the metals and mining industry accounted for approximately 15 percent of global emissions. Assuming no external shifts, the share is estimated to decrease to approximately 13 percent by 2035—a 15 percent decline.
1. Introduction. Mining is an activity that is closely linked to the economy in both developing and developed countries but is also the most important source of heavy metal pollution in the environment (Chen et al., 2017; Teixeira et al., 2018).Due to the value of gold and its superior application prospects, gold mining is widely practiced in a number of mining-rich …
